Understood, but actually it is obeying the 12pt switchtobodyfont for the interline spacing in the backgrounds. It is not using either the layer's switchtobodyfont, which I think should be correct behavior, nor is it obeying the setupbodyfont. Note that the font size is correct, it is the interline spacing that is incorrect.

Thanks,
Brian

Hi, I am attempting to do some work with layers that can repeat (and update) using \startsetups & \stopsetups. However I find that the line spacing in a \framed in the layers is not alterable and instead tracks the font size on the page. I'm attaching a simple example (it shows the same issue under MKII and MKIV, although the \vbox{} example does not work under MKII). If you remove the \startsetups and \stopsetups the line spacing works like it should. While they are used, the line spacing in the layer's \framed tracks the setting in \switchtobodyfont[12pt]. It does not track to either 6pt or 8pt. And I can't find a way to reset the spacing (I tried adding in a \setupinterlinespace[reset]). Am I doing something wrong? I've tried with MKIV 2009.06.03 and 2009.08.07, and MKII at contextgarden.
Thanks!

\setupbodyfont[8pt]%
\starttext
\definelayer[RCheaderleft][preset=lefttop,width=\paperwidth, height= \paperheight]% \definelayer[RCheaderright][preset=lefttop,width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight]%
\startsetups[RClayers]%
\setlayer[RCheaderleft][hoffset=\backspace,voffset=\topspace]{\vbox {Line 1\\ Line 2}}% \setlayer[RCheaderright][hoffset=\backspace,voffset=\topspace] {\switchtobodyfont[6pt]\framed[align= {middle,flushright},width=broad]{Line 1\\ Line 2}}%
\stopsetups
\setupbackgrounds[page][setups=RClayers,background= {RCheaderleft,RCheaderright}]% \switchtobodyfont[12pt]
\dorecurse{250}{test\par}
\stoptext

there is a difference between:

\setupbodyfont     : global usage, document wide
\switchtobodyfont : local usage, does not affect the header, footer etc

so, when the backgrounds are constructed, the 8pt is in charge
