You could try this: \starttexdefinition setxheight [#1][#2] \switchtobodyfont[#1, 12pt] \switchtobodyfont[#1, \cldcontext{tex.sp"#2" / tex.sp"1ex" * tex.sp"1em" .. "sp"}] \stoptexdefinition Demo: \starttexdefinition setxheight [#1][#2] \switchtobodyfont[#1, 12pt] \switchtobodyfont[#1, \cldcontext{tex.sp"#2" / tex.sp"1ex" * tex.sp"1em" .. "sp"}] \stoptexdefinition \define[1]\sample{% \setxheight[#1][10pt] Hello% } \setuppapersize[letter, landscape] \starttext \dontleavehmode\rlap{\vrule width\textwidth height 10.5pt depth -10pt}% \processcommalist[modern, pagella, termes, heros, bonum, scholas, adventor, cursor, chorus, dejavu]\sample \stoptext This is kind of a hacky solution though. It works reasonably well, although there's likely a better (perhaps builtin?) way to do this. -- Max ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
