\setmainfont[Times New Roman]
\setsansfont[Arial][scale=0.863]

\setupbodyfont[16pt]
16pt serif xx{\ss xx sans}\\

Your example is a bit difficult to test here because it's
windows-centric, I don't have Arial on my system. But by looking at it,
you should have something like this in your file before setting the fonts:
\starttypescript [sans] [default] [size]
\definebodyfont [16pt] [ss] [default]
\stoptypescript
\definebodyfontenvironment[16pt]
and so on for other arbitrary sizes. ConTeXt doesn't define complete
environments for every imaginable size (but I imagine Wolfgang may come
up with a clever solution within his module).

You are right! It's all fine, when I add the code you posted and insert the
appropriate sizes for those where it didn't work before.
Thanks for your help.

A clever solution would take a while because in this case i want to change the
whole code in rewrite it with all the new mkiv goodies and the spec interface.
A fast solution is also possible but it won’t be more than a fix.

No need to rush from my part. I have what I need (bodyfont in 11.5pt with a
properly scaled sans companion).
I get the rest of the font sizes with \tfa etc. and that keeps the proportions
intact.
