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
