OK. I now have alphaminimal up and running (ConTeXt  ver: 2009.02.17 18:50 MKII  fmt: 2009.2.24  int: english/english). (The only change is that I have it in my Applications folder).

The test file

\enableregime[mac]
\mainlanguage[en]

\definebodyfontenvironment[10.5pt]

%\usetypescript[lmodern][\defaultencoding]
%\starttypescript[serif][default][size]
  \definebodyfont[9.5pt,10.5pt][rm][default]
  \definebodyfont[9.5pt,10.5pt][mm][default]
%\stoptypescript

\setupbodyfont[lmodern,rm,10.5pt]

\usemodule[ancientgreek][font=GreekDioxipe,scale=2.15,altfont=GreekCanonica,altscale=0.9]
%\usemodule[oldgreek][font=GreekDioxipe,scale=2.15,altfont=GreekCanonica,altscale=0.9]

\setupfootnotes[conversion=numbers,way=bytext,location=page,rule=on,bodyfont=9.5pt,style=normal]
\starttext
This Greek should be scaled at 2.15 its design size
\localgreek{>'alfa ka`i b~hta}

This is more sample text.%
\footnote{This is a sample footnote}

\stoptext

processes but the Greek is still the wrong size.

Well, that is what it should be. So the problem is definitely on my box. But where? I have no idea right now about how to test this further.

I'm aware we have made you install lots of versions, in vain. Nevertheless, I would suggest trying the current beta version. It is broken wrt mkiv, but you are still using mkii, right? So from my earlier mail:

mkdir ~/alphaminimal && cd ~/alphaminimal

rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .

./first-setup.sh --context=alpha

You will get errors when the installation tries to create the luatex formats; just ignore them; mkii should be fine. At least, that's what I used here to produce the pdf. Be sure to adapt your environment variables and $PATH so you use this new version, not the older ones on your system.
