Hello,

I want to use truly huge (40pt) fonts for chapter numbers.
In my latex code, I used

\newfont{\chapterNumber}{pplr9d scaled 7000}

 From the context manual, I thought that

\definebodyfont [11pt] [rm]  [ tfH=cmr12 scaled 7000]

should do it. Though the above code doesn't throw any errors,
it doesn't do anything. What am I doing wrong?

*MWE*

\definebodyfont [11pt] [rm]  [ tfH=cmr12 scaled 7000]
\starttext
   {\tfH 1}
\stoptext

Devendra

\definebodyfont
  [default]
  [tfH=cmr12 scaled 7000]

works for me. Or you can use:

\definefont
  [TitleFont]
  [Serif at 40pt]

\starttext
  \TitleFont FooBar
\stoptext

I just updated by ConTeXt (ver: 2013.02.05 22:32 MKIV) and tried again.
*\definefont* works but

\definebodyfont
   [default]
   [tfH= cmr12 scaled 7000]

still does not work and also wipes out definitions for \tfa \tfx etc.
So

{\tfa 1}{\tf 1}{\tfx 1}

will just yield

111

Thank you,
Devendra

My MWE is:

\definebodyfont
  [default]
  [tfH=cmr12 scaled 7000]

\definefont
   [TitleFont]
   [Serif at 40pt]

\starttext
   {\tfH 1}{\tf 1}{\tfx 1}\\
   {\TitleFont 1. FooBar}
\stoptext

You're totally right.

\definefontsize
  [H]

\definebodyfontenvironment

  [H=7]

\definefont
  [TitleFont]
  [Serif at 40pt]

\starttext
  {\tfH 1} {\tf 1} {\tfx 1}\\
  {\TitleFont 1. FooBar}
