easily done through a \MPvar{scale} variable, applied to the main dimensions on
which all measures in my figures depend. But for the fontsizes this

This is but a partial solution in my case, for two reasons:
1. \textstyle=\small gives few control, I tried textstyle=5pt without result
2. the setup cannot be placed inside \startuseMPgraphic, where I need it most.
I skimmed through meta-ini.mkiv, but did not find a solution.

I did some further experimentation, hoping using dimexp calculations would
help. But either I am doing somthing wrong or I do not understand the innards
of bodyfont switching well enough.
The example program seems to have accessed a 30 pt font (see the log file) but
did not typeset in it, the
