This question is still not resolved. Maybe someone has another hint?

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

Use the unit "bp" to get the same sizes as in desktop apps.
