Hopefully fixed ... in the process i decided to experiment with a better
auto sizing .. there is now
SomeFont ht somedimen : scale to ascender height
SomeFont cp somedimen : scale to X height
example:
\setupbodyfont[dejavu]
\starttext
\start \showstruts
{\type{at}: TEST \strut\definedfont[Normal at 10pt] TEST}
{\type{ht}: TEST \strut\definedfont[Normal ht \the\strutht] TEST}
{\type{cp}: TEST \strut\definedfont[Normal cp \the\strutht] TEST}
\placeinitial \strut \input ward.tex
\start
\setupinitial[style=\bfd,voffset=.25\lineheight,n=1]
\placeinitial \strut \input ward.tex \par
\stop
\start
\setupinitial[font=Bold at 60pt]
\placeinitial \strut \input ward.tex \par
\stop
\start
\setupinitial[font=Bold at 60pt,voffset=2\lineheight]
\placeinitial \strut \input ward.tex \par
\stop
\start
\setupinitial[font=Bold cp \measure{initial:n},n=4,hoffset=.5em]
\placeinitial \strut \input ward.tex \par
\stop
\stoptext
