 From font-ini:

The next two macros are user ones. With \setupbodyfont
one can set the document bodyfont size, font family, style
and/or options defined in files, for example:

\setupbodyfont[cmr,ams,12pt,roman]

This command affects the document as a whole: text, headers
and footers. The second macro however affects only the text:

\switchtobodyfont[10pt]

Both macros look alike. The second one also has to take
all kind of keywords into account.
