How can I change the font size of labels within one picture? Hraban \startMPpage defaultfont := "\truefontname{Sans}"; defaultfontsize := \the\bodyfontsize; label.top(defaultfontsize, (0,0)); defaultfontsize := 4bp; label.top(defaultfontsize, (50,0)); % shows that the variable changed, % but font size is the same \stopMPpage

(Untested): See https://www.contextgarden.net/Command/setupMPinstance \setupMPinstance[metafun][textstyle=sans] Or define a new instance, which sets the textstyle to sans. Aditya
My stupid way to get labels of different sizes:
\starttext
\startMPcode
label("normal label", (0, 0));
label("\setsmallbodyfont small label", (0, 18));
label("\setbigbodyfont big label", (0, -18));
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

I've used something like the following before.
\starttext
\startMPcode
label("normal label", (0, 0));
label("{\switchtobodyfont[3pt] tiny label}", (0, 18));
label("{\switchtobodyfont[72pt] giant label}", (0, -72));
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

Here are slightly different syntax that could be useful perhaps ? In the second one, the scaled parameter can be replaced easily with a variable, so you can decide and change the size of the label during the course of a picture. \starttext \startMPpage defaultfont := "\truefontname{Sans}"; defaultfontsize := \the\bodyfontsize; defaultscale := 0.5; label.top("small label", (-10,0)); defaultscale := 1.0; label.top("normal label", (50,5)); label.top("another normal label", (50,-5)); defaultscale := 2.0; label.top("Huge label", (10,-25)); \stopMPpage \startMPpage draw textext.top("small label") scaled 0.5 shifted (-10,0) ; draw textext.top("normal label") scaled 1 shifted (50,5) ; draw textext.top("second normal label") scaled 1 shifted (50,-5) ; draw textext.top("Huge label") scaled 2 shifted (10,-25) ; \stopMPpage \stoptext Fabrice.

Thank you (all), I resolved to using the usual \tfx or \definedfont. Hraban
