Or, \switchtobodyfotn[small] etc. This is what I had written in the
tugboat article on font switching (wikified at
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Font_Switching)
"These quick font switches are meant for changing the font style,
alternative, or size of a few words: they do not change the bodyfont, so
they don't affect interline spacing or math font sizes. So, if you want to
change the font size of an entire paragraph, use \switchtobodyfont
described below in Complete Font Change. However, it is fine to use them
as style directives in setup commands, that is, using them as an option
for style=... in any setup command that accepts style option. "
Please feel free to change the phrasing if it is not clear.
