using the low level commands

\glyphscale
\glyphxscale
\glyphyscale
\glyphslant
\glyphweight

directly can have side efects when at an outer level these are also set, 
so you need to accumulate, like

\starttext

test {\glyphscale 2000 test \glyphscale \numericscaled1.2\glyphscale 
test} test

test {\glyphslant  500 test \glyphslant \numericscaled2.0\glyphslant 
test} test

test {\glyphweight 100 test \glyphweight\numericscaled2.0\glyphweight 
test} test

\stoptext

which you will now wikify ...
