[Peter Münster]

Hello,
is there a command, that switches to the normal font size (body-font)?
I tried \tf, but it affects only the shape, not the size.
TIA for any hint, Peter

There is no 'normal font size'. Or rather, if you've switched using
\switchtobodyfont, then from now on, that is the 'normal font size'.
I'm afraid you need to be a bit clearer on what is wrong / what you
want to achieve if you want a better answer.

Greetings, Taco

I think Peter means something like this:

normal \tfa big \tfb bigger \tfc biggerer \tf now what?

...where he wants the final one to return to the bodyfontsize.

I would say the "proper" way of doing it is to use grouping, but that
doesn't really directly answer Peter's question.

Yes indeed, this is, what I'm looking for.
Excuse me, if my question wasn't clear enough.
Here an example:

\usemodule[pre-01]
\starttext
\StartTitlePage
Big Title\\
\tf % some command, that switches to normal size
Something in normal size
\StopTitlePage
Here, it's really the normal size.
\stoptext

Of course, it's not really important, since I can always construct my own
title-page command.

Cheers, Peter
