Hi,

I have to reproduce a book layout that was done in Adobe Indesign, and I don't really manage to get the right fontsizes, i.e. according to Acrobat Pro the fonts are consistently a bit smaller then expected.
That may well be an Adobe problem, it's just that I have to aim for rather specific target values... As you can see below the deviation is not so significant with the normal font size and bigger sizes, but more so with the smaller sizes.


% ----------------------------------------------------------------------
\setupbodyfont[10pt]
\definebodyfontenvironment
                [default]
                [xx=0.7,
                x=0.85,
                a=1.175,
                b=1.5,
                ]

\starttext


{\tfxx Smallest } % => expected 7pt, actual 5.98pt

{\tfx Small} % => expected 8.5pt, actual 7.97pt

{\tf Normal} % => expected 10pt, actual 9.96pt

{\tfa Larger} % => expected 11.75pt, actual 11.71pt

{\tfb Largest} % => expected 15pt, actual 14.94pt

\stoptext
% ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas, how I could get that right? (The project uses Noto Serif, but the same happens there.)

Thanks for you help,
Denis
