Maybe I forgot about it.. I seem to remember a very long time ago some experiments with typescripts for computer-modern opticals, before latin modern became default (it's all foggy now..)
But for sure ConTeXt used to load lmroman12-regular (or the computer-modern 12 pt) by default. So things have changed..

Ok, where is that design size typescript? A search for, e.g., lmroman8-regular etc. in
texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv
yields no results, so it must be defined at some higher level of abstraction..

Ok, that would be very helpful; many thanks.
