Interesting! \font\palatino=texnansi-uplr8a at 12pt \starttext 1ex = \the\dimexpr\exheight\relax\crlf 2.8ex = \the\dimexpr2.8\exheight\relax \blank 1ex = \the\dimexpr\fontdimen5\palatino\relax \crlf 2.8ex = \the\dimexpr2.8\fontdimen5\palatino\relax \stoptext > and in MKIV gives > > 1ex = 5.172pt > 2.8ex = 14.4816pt > > The reason is that what ex means is hardcoded in MKII but MKIV gets this > info from the font.

Thanks for the example, another point to use LuaTeX.
