Hello there,

I am new in variables in ConTeXt, so I tried the the following example
of two font-sizes wich should have a ratio of 0.7:

\setvariables[fontsize][bigsize=17pt]
\setvariables[fontsize][smallsize=0.7\getvariable{fontsize}{size}]

\definefont[big][name:arial at \getvariable{fontsize}{bigsize}]
\definefont[small][name:arial at \getvariable{fontsize}{smallsize}]

\starttext
\big Dies ist ein großer Text.\blank
\small Dies ist ein kleiner Text.
\stoptext

That does not work, what is the correct syntax?


should be: what is my error? ...

\setvariables[fontsize][smallsize=0.7\getvariable{fontsize}{bigsize}]

(size - bigsize)

but then the next hurdle is that you get 0.717pt so you need

\setvariables[fontsize][smallsize=\the\dimexpr0.7\dimexpr\getvariable{fontsize}{bigsize}\relax\relax]

which is why the next is better:

\definemeasure[fontsize:big]  [17pt]
\definemeasure[fontsize:small][0.7\measured{fontsize:big}]

\definefont[big]  [name:arial at \measure{fontsize:big}]
\definefont[small][name:arial at \measure{fontsize:small}]

\starttext
\big   Dies ist ein großer  Text. \blank
\small Dies ist ein kleiner Text.
\stoptext

Best wikify this!

Alternatively you can set up symbolic sizes (like we already have a b c 
d), so that


\definefont[big]  [name:arial sa a]

etc can be used

Thank you! I will wikify it, hopefully in the next days.
