font modification in \inright

["Boris Dagaev" <boris.dagaev@gmail.com>]

Hello ConTeXt Experts!

I am looking for a proper ConTeXt of solving a problem I've solved
through a hack (my solution is right after the need and problem are
stated below).

Preface: I am learning ConTeXt as I go. I do apologize if mine is a
rookie question. I'd appreciate your help very much.

Need:
number every paragraph and place its number on the right margin in a
smaller (6pt) font.

Problem:
when I try to switch to a smaller font directly in an \inright:
\inright{\vi\hfill\bf\the\parCount}
that outputs the count in the main paragraph font (14pt) until I
prefix every paragraph with a hack
{\vi\ \setbox0=\hbox{\ }\kern-\wd0}
then \inright outputs the number correctly in a 6pt font
(if I add the hack to \everypar, the inright font is still 14pt)

Question: is there a way to switch to a smaller font directly in \inright{}?

My solution:

\setupoutput[pdftex]

\definepapersize[MYBOOK][width=10.5cm,height=18.5cm]
\setuppapersize[MYBOOK][letter]
\setuplayout[width=fit, height=fit, topspace=0cm, header=1cm,
footer=0.2cm, location=middle, marking=on, leftmargin=0cm,
leftmargindistance=0cm, rightmargin=0.5cm, rightmargindistance=0cm,
leftdistance=0cm, rightdistance=0cm, backspace=0cm]

\setupbodyfont[14pt]
\setupwhitespace[big]

\setupinmargin[align=right]

\newcount\parCount \parCount=1

\def\inRightParCount{%
  %% ADDING THE HACK HERE DOES NOT HELP {\vi\ \setbox0=\hbox{\ }\kern-\wd0}
  \inright{\hfill\bf\the\parCount}
  \global\advance\parCount by 1 }

\appendtoks \inRightParCount \to \everypar

\starttext
