HI Georg, All,
as such ConTexT should support the use of the size table in its font handling,
but as Hans has mentioned design sizes a very special and few actually know
what that information means and put it to a useful purpose.
Question would be in far this font feature should be rudimentarily supported.
regards
Keith.
