non-integer bodyfont size

non-integer bodyfont size

[Sanjoy Mahajan]

I'm a bit confused about font sizes.  I had a bunch of missing \Delta
symbols in inline math (e.g. $\Delta x$), which I tracked down to

\setupbodyfont[10.5pt]

The non-integral point size works for text but not for math (the \Delta
turned into a backquote).  How to fix that?

type-siz.tex has several sections to which I could add
\definebodyfontenvironment or \definebodyfont lines.  Which sections
would I add to?  Or can I put the additions outside of that file?  And,
most crucially, what are the magic lines :-)

Thanks for suggestions, which I'll wikify.

you need to define a bodyfont environment

> you need to define a bodyfont environment 

Can I get away with the following, which just does \definebodyfont for
math?  It worked but maybe I'm missing a bodyfont type?  Sans serif
work even without adding anything else (tested by adding "\ss \input
tufte" after \stopformula).  Too much works correctly and
automatically, so I'm worried!

\definebodyfont [10.5pt] [mm]
    [mr=xcmr10 at 10.5pt,
     ex=cmex10 at 10.5pt,
     mi=cmmi10 at 10.5pt,
     sy=cmsy10 at 10.5pt]

\setupbodyfont[10.5pt]
\starttext
\startformula
\Delta x
\stopformula
\stoptext
