Yes, and this appears to me to be the most logical behavior.

By the way, the use of such "low-level" font changes is not very good
style in any case, and should be limited to special cases. In
particular, this will not export well in tagged output to xml, for
example, which is why I suggest the use of styles and "highlight".

Re: [NTG-context] Simple font size changes command

Thanks Alan for the suggestion, I’ll try it. Doing more research I figured out 
that \definefont defined such simple command at the expense of eventually 
repeating the font name and features. 


\definefont[SmallFont][name:EBGaramond*base,xxicentury at \SmallFontSize]  % 
\SmallFont works


I was also a bit surprised with \tf behaviour when used inside a scope of 
another one leading to 2 different sizes in output, as in


{\tfd Foo {\tfx Bar1}} {\tfx Bar2} Baz.


For the sake of knowledge I would be interested in knowing if this is expected 
eventually. 


Thanks a lot


Joseph

Perhaps (untested):

\definealternativestyle [BigFont] [{\setbodyfont [12pt]}]
\definealternativestyle [SmallFont] [{\setbodyfont [8pt]}]
\definehighlight [BigSize] [style=BigFont]
\definehighlight [SmallSize] [style=SmallFont]

\BigSize{Foo \SmallSize{Bar1}} \SmallSize{Bar2} Baz.___
