Setting the size of \small

Setting the size of \small

[Leah Neukirchen via ntg-context]

Hi,

playing around with \definebodyfontenvironment with latest LMTX,
I found this possibly buggy behavior:

\definebodyfontenvironment[12pt][small=6pt] % x=6pt works here
\setupbodyfont[12pt]
\starttext
normal {\tx tx} {\small small}
\stoptext

With \definebodyfontenvironment[12pt][x=6pt] I can resize \tx fine,
but for \small it doesn't work.

Hi Leah,

I don’t know whether it may be a bug, but this works:

  \definebodyfont[12pt]
  \definebodyfontenvironment[12pt][small=100pt, x=100pt]
  \setupbodyfont[12pt]
  \starttext
  normal {\tx tx} {\small small}
  \stoptext

It might be that \small could be hardcoded by default.

Sorry for changing sizes, but I wanted to know for sure it was working.

Just in case it might help,

Pablo

it has to do with the fact that we have font clases and some parameters 
are bound to it.

\setupbodyfontenvironment
   [pagella]
   [12pt]
   [x=4pt,
    small=4pt]

\setupbodyfont[pagella,12pt]

\starttext
     normal {\tx tx} {\small small}
\stoptext

that will work. You can say \fontclass to see what you got after a 
\setupbodyfont.

I'll add

\setupbodyfontenvironment
   [all]
   [12pt]
   [x=4pt,
    small=4pt]

as option (assuming we have no performance hit).

x xx      : dynamic
small big : more static (trigger some definitions)

when we decide to go 'compact fonts' we can review this. We can then 
also decide to get rid of the old design size subsystem (only lm uses it 
unless one does 'modern' and there are other ways.)

It would also be nice to be able to

\setupbodyfontenvironment[all][default][x=0.8]

(I solved my actual problem by adding a new custom fontsize with
\definefontsize, as it's not really \small but something else.)
