relative font size

relative font size

[Johannes Hüsing]

Hi all,

I hou also van the Bitstream Charter font and I am looking for a matching
monospace. To my mind LuxiMono fits Charter very well but the percepted
sizes don't match at all. I would like to downscale LuxiMono by at least
ten per cent when using it with Charter. 

What is the ConTeXt way to achieve this?

Thanks a lot, as always. 

Johannes

use rscale=<scale factor>:

\definetypeface[BodyFont][tt][mono][LuxiMono][default]
        [encoding=ec,rscale=0.9]
