(Untested): See https://www.contextgarden.net/Command/setupMPinstance \setupMPinstance[metafun][textstyle=sans] Or define a new instance, which sets the textstyle to sans. Aditya

Thank you for trying, but that doesn’t seem to have anything to do with my question. I need a different font size for different labels within one picture. Hraban
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

Okay. So there’s really no possibility to adapt whatever defines the label font size except defaultfontsize inbetween? Strange. My solution so far was to split the picture and re-combine it afterwards. Hraban
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

\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
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
