Thanks for your help. That's already better. The base font size, and the bigger 
sizes are correct now. But it still does not work with the smaller sizes:

% ---------------------------------------
\setupbodyfont[10bp] 
\definebodyfontenvironment
        [10bp]
        [xx=7bp,
        x=8.5bp,
        a=11.75bp, 
        b=15bp,
        ] 

\starttext


{\tfxx Smallest } % => expected 7pt, actual 6pt with LM Roman 7

{\tfx Small} % => expected 8.5pt, actual 8pt with LM Roman 9

{\tf Normal} % => expected 10pt, ok

{\tfa Larger} % => expected 11.75pt, ok

{\tfb Largest} % => expected 15pt, ok

\stoptext
%-------------------------------------------------------

Maybe that's an issue with optical sizes?

Best,
Denis
