Hi John,

the default font size is 12pt.

As Joseph Canedo explained, the DejaVu font seem to be a TrueType font.

This may be (and I think it is) a font in OpenType format with TrueType
outlines (instead of PostScript outlines).

Any system font (TTF, OTF and PS at least) can be used with ConTeXt.

All that ConTeXt (or LuaTeX) requires is the way to find it. The safest
way is the file name.

Let us know whether you have further questions.

I hope it helps,


Pablo
