Hi Aditya,
can you tell me how I can ensure as in AMSmath that the font size in
abbreviations automatically match the font size of current text? see my
example below.

******** EXAMPLE
\definealternativestyle[ImportantStyle][{\definedfont[Kurier-Bold at 24pt]}]
\definetextbackground[zhu]
[location=paragraph,
background=color,backgroundcolor=orange,
leftoffset=0.5\bodyfontsize,rightoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
topoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,bottomoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
style=ImportantStyle,
frame=off]
\startsetups important:start
\starttextbackground[zhu]
\stopsetups
\startsetups important:stop
\endgraf
\stoptextbackground
\stopsetups
\definestartstop
[important]
[before=\setups{important:start},
after=\setups{important:stop}]
\abbreviation [NPV] {\math{\text{NPV}}} {full form}
\starttext
this looks normal $x$, \NPV.
\startimportant
this looks bad \mathematics{x}, \NPV.
\stopimportant
this looks normal $x$, \NPV.
\stoptext
