deviant bodyfont size query

deviant bodyfont size query

[Alan Bowen]

Until the last three updates to ConTeXt, I was getting output without  
error messages inspite of the fact that I was calling for bodyfont  
sizes of 10.5 pt and 9.5 pt.  Now, when I process the same documents  
I get error messages and the output has 10pt and 9pt text where I had  
originally asked for the deviant sizes.

Unfortunately, this output is smaller than I was getting before.  
Moreover, when I call for bodyfont sizes of 11pt and 10pt now, the  
output is larger.

The problem is that i ned to maintain the appearance of the documents  
that I have been typesetting. So what was I getting before—how were  
these deviant bodysizes rendered—and, more important, does anyone  
know how can I get the same result now?

  Cheers, Alan

This (or something similar) should work:

  \definebodyfont [10.5pt,9.5pt] [rm,ss,tt,mm] [default]


The newer ConTeXt no longer automatically creates a font definition
set for undefined sizes, you have to do that manually.

Thanks, Taco. That helps: I now have the correct bodyfont sizes.  
Unfortunately,  the footnote numbers are now being printed at 10.5pt/ 
9.5pt, and I am also getting error messages like

! Math formula deleted: Insufficient symbol fonts.
<argument> ...2004.\ Pp.\ ${\rm xxxii} + 156 + 76$
                                                    (in Arabic).\  
ISBN 0||934...


I am using Latin Modern which I have invoked as follows:

\usetypescript [all] [latin-modern] [texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[reset]
\definebodyfont [10.5pt,9.5pt] [rm,ss,tt,mm] [default]
\setupbodyfont[cmr, 10.5pt]

(\definebodyfont [10.5pt,9.5pt] [rm,ss,tt,mm] [texnansi] does not  
solve the original problem).

As for the footnotes, I use
\setupfootnotes[conversion=numbers,  
way=bytext,location=page,rule=on,bodyfont=9.5pt,style=normal]


Best, Alan

Can you try the latest (todays) current?

Hans, the latest ConTeXt (6.27.2005) solves the font-size problem  
handily. Many thanks to you (and to Taco too): I am now back in  
business.

All best, Alan
