In the fonts book I found the \definebodyfont command, but it does not to do what I expected. What I need (for a poster) is a set of absolute font sizes. I tried the code below. I put some quirks in, like the huge value for "a", to see if it works, but it doesn't. It just uses the preset proportions relative to the preceding fontsize command (in the example, \tfx is bigger than \tf).

\definebodyfontenvironment[palatino][24pt][

text = 24pt,

small = 22pt,

x=22pt,

scriptscript = 16pt,

xx = 16pt,

big=28pt,

a = 80pt, % 28pt

b = 40pt,

c = 50pt,

d = 50pt,

interlinespace = 3ex,

em = italic

]

\setupbodyfont[palatino,24pt]

\starttext

\tf tf\\

\tfa tfa\\

\tfb tfb\\

\tfx tfx\\

\tfx tfx

\stoptext


When you have only a small amount of text the use of \definebodyfontenvironment is overkill because you can use the \definedfont command to set a certain font size.

\starttext

\start \definedfont[Serif at 20pt]
\input ward
\stop

\startfont[SansBoldItalic at 18pt]
\input ward
\stopfont

\stoptext
