Dear list,
the following runs fine in mkii (i.e. if compiled with 'texexec') but
gives an error with mkiv (compiled with 'context'):
\showframe
\newdimen\Ssize \Ssize=18pt
%\definefont[MyFont][Serif at 18pt]
\definefont[MyFont][Serif at \Ssize]
\starttext
\MyFont
\input knuth
\stoptext
I have just installed the current version of context-minimals:
ConTeXt ver: 2013.06.07 17:34 MKII fmt: 2014.7.2 int: english/english
What ist the mkiv way to set a dimension that will be used in a number
of \definefont commands?
Thank you!
Uwe

Use the \definemeasure command to set the value and the \measure command to access it.
\definemeasure[Ssize][18pt]
\definefont[MyFont][Serif at \measure{Ssize}]
\starttext
\MyFont
\input knuth
\stoptext
Wolfgang
