style={\switchtobodyfont[somefont,somefontsize]} digests font sizes
expressed in pt.
What's the command to convert font sizes ( for example \tfc ) to their
corresponding pt number ?

I've read that too and unfortunately don't find anything on that page that answers my question. Hmmm... Either the question was not clear enough or I've been smoking the carpet... :O) Let's try to formulate it otherwise... With somefont defined through \definetypeface[somefont][...] style={\switchtobodyfont[somefont,huge]} gives a compile error, only, for example, style={\switchtobodyfont[somefont,14pt]} works like in \setuphead[chapter][style={\switchtobodyfont[somefont,14pt]}] I don't want to manually input some pt size but, for example, the \tfc or huge corresponding pt size. Therefore I'm looking for - the ConTeXtMagicCommand to convert \ConTexTMagicCommand[\tfc or huge] to "\tfc or huge size expressed in pt" or - some other ConTeXtSuperMagic trick to display the chapter heading in somefont and \tfc or huge size I guess I could \chapter{\tfc chaptertitle}, however I'm looking for something more generic so I only have to input chapter{chaptertitle}.

So you can always use (in a 10 point document) \definefont[chapterfont][Sans sa 1.728] \setuphead[chapter][style=chapterfont] > Let's try to formulate it otherwise... > > With somefont defined through \definetypeface[somefont][...] > > style={\switchtobodyfont[somefont,huge]} gives a compile error, > only, for example, style={\switchtobodyfont[somefont,14pt]} works > > like in \setuphead[chapter][style={\switchtobodyfont[somefont,14pt]}] > > I don't want to manually input some pt size but, for example, the \tfc or > huge corresponding pt size. > > > > Therefore I'm looking for > > - the ConTeXtMagicCommand to convert > \ConTexTMagicCommand[\tfc or huge] to "\tfc or huge size expressed in pt" > > or > > - some other ConTeXtSuperMagic trick to display the chapter heading in > somefont and \tfc or huge size The default values of \tfa etc can be changed by \definefont. If these values have not been changed, then you can use: \definefont[chapterfont][Sans sa \magfactor3] \setuphead[chapter][style=chapterfont] \magfactor is defined in font-ini.tex as \def\magfactor#1% {\ifcase#1 1.000\or1.200\or1.440\or1.728\or2.074\or2.488\or1\fi} so \magfactor 3 is equal to \tfc in size. You can also use a more plain TeX like syntax as \definefont[chapterfont][Sans scaled \magstep3] where \magstep is defined in font-ini.tex as \def\magstep#1% {\ifcase#1 \@m\or1200\or1440\or1728\or2074\or2488\or\@m\fi} Aditya ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread
