OK, but in order to use this systematically, I would have to have a
\definefont for every potential combination of font style (serif/sans),
alternative (bold/italic/etc.), and size that will get used in the
document. In a large, complex book, that extra layer of indirection
seems unattractive. But maybe there's no better way to do it.

Hello,
I have the following MWE:\starttext\setuptab[headstyle=ssbfb]
\setuptab[headstyle=\ssbfb]
\tab{foo} \input knuth \par\stoptextHere,
the headstyle specifies a sans font with boldface style, at 1.44times
the current bodyfont size.However, I want to be able to
specify an absolute point size, instead ofa relative size.I
tried variations like \setuptab[headstyle=18pt]but that
has no effect: the size remains 12pt, or whatever the default is.If
I use \setuptab[headstyle={\switchtobodyfont[18pt]}]then
the size takes effect (for the key only, which is what I want).I can
combine that with sans: \setuptab[headstyle={\switchtobodyfont[ss,
18pt]}]and that works.But how to mix in boldface?
\setuptab[headstyle={\switchtobodyfont[ssbf, 18pt]}]doesn't
give sans boldface, but reverts to a serif, non-bold style (at18pt
size). \setuptab[headstyle={\switchtobodyfont[ss, bf, 18pt]}]gives
the same results.I finally tried
\setuptab[headstyle={\ssbf \switchtobodyfont[18pt]}]and that
works! But it seems clunky: it looks like it requires two fontswitches,
which I'm told makes things slower.And I can't help wondering
if I'm missing some simpler way.Is there a more efficient or elegant
way to do this?
\definefont[BigBoldSans][SansBold at 18pt]
\setuptab[headstyle=BigBoldSans]

[NTG-context] how to include sans, bold and size in \setuptab[headstyle=???]
Hello, I have the following MWE:
\starttext
\setuptab[headstyle=ssbfb]
\tab{foo} \input knuth \par
\stoptext
Here, the headstyle specifies a sans font with boldface style, at 1.44
times the current bodyfont size.
However, I want to be able to specify an absolute point size, instead of
a relative size.
I tried variations like
\setuptab[headstyle=18pt]
but that has no effect: the size remains 12pt, or whatever the default is.
If I use
\setuptab[headstyle={\switchtobodyfont[18pt]}]
then the size takes effect (for the key only, which is what I want).
I can combine that with sans:
\setuptab[headstyle={\switchtobodyfont[ss, 18pt]}]
and that works.
But how to mix in boldface?
\setuptab[headstyle={\switchtobodyfont[ssbf, 18pt]}]
doesn't give sans boldface, but reverts to a serif, non-bold style (at
18pt size).
\setuptab[headstyle={\switchtobodyfont[ss, bf, 18pt]}]
gives the same results.
I finally tried
\setuptab[headstyle={\ssbf \switchtobodyfont[18pt]}]
and that works! But it seems clunky: it looks like it requires two font
switches, which I'm told makes things slower.
And I can't help wondering if I'm missing some simpler way.
Is there a more efficient or elegant way to do this?
Thanks,
Lars
