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.

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.

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.

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).

Additional Information:
11pt -> working fine
11.5pt -> not working / not scaled
12pt-> working fine

[NTG-context] Simplefonts: Font scaling problem
Good evening!
I want to scale a font loaded via the simplefonts so sans and serif have the
same x-height.
But as soon as I use a font size larger than 12pt, the scaling is somehow off
or ignored.
Example:
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setupsimplefonts[expansion=quality, protrusion=quality]
\setmainfont[Times New Roman]
\setsansfont[Arial][scale=0.863]
\starttext
\setupbodyfont[6pt]
06pt serif xx{\ss xx sans}\\ %fine
\setupbodyfont[12pt]
12pt serif xx{\ss xx sans}\\ %fine, too
\setupbodyfont[14pt]
14pt serif xx{\ss xx sans}\\ %here it starts to be off
\setupbodyfont[16pt]
16pt serif xx{\ss xx sans}\\
\stoptext
What is up with that?
