I don't know what exactly is going on here, but not even
\definedfont[Bold at 50pt] changes the font size. (Yes, I agree that
it's a much better option to use this in comparison to
\switchtobodyfont, I only slightly forgot about this alternative;
thanks; but it doesn't work any better at the moment.)

(It could be something weird with my installation as well.)
