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

[NTG-context] Fontsizes in Adobe Acrobat vs ConTeXt
Hi,
I have to reproduce a book layout that was done in Adobe Indesign, and I don't
really manage to get the right fontsizes, i.e. according to Acrobat Pro the
fonts are consistently a bit smaller then expected.
That may well be an Adobe problem, it's just that I have to aim for rather
specific target values... As you can see below the deviation is not so
significant with the normal font size and bigger sizes, but more so with the
smaller sizes.

{\tfx Small} % => expected 8.5pt, actual 7.97pt
{\tf Normal} % => expected 10pt, actual 9.96pt

Any ideas, how I could get that right? (The project uses Noto Serif, but the
same happens there.)
Thanks for you help,
Denis
