[NTG-context] extra blank page in front of standardmakeup
Dear list,
how can I prevent a blank page in front of title page in MKIV (apart
from the fact that font switching is not working)? In MKII this is
working perfectly fine.
\starttext
\startstandardmakeup
{\switchtobodyfont[50pt]\bf\centerline{Title}}
\vskip 3cm
{\switchtobodyfont[20pt]\centerline{\sl(manual)}} % \sl doesn't work either
\stopstandardmakeup
bla
\stoptext
Thank you very much,
Mojca (a proud user of MKII :) :) :)

Try to avoid \switchtobodyfont if possible.
\startstandardmakeup[align=middle]
{\definedfont[Bold at 50pt]Title}
\blank[3cm]
{\definedfont[Slanted at 20pt](manual)}
\stopstandardmakeup

I don't know what exactly is going on here, but not even
\definedfont[Bold at 50pt] changes the font size. (Yes, I agree that
it's a much better option to use this in comparison to
\switchtobodyfont, I only slightly forgot about this alternative;
thanks; but it doesn't work any better at the moment.)
(It could be something weird with my installation as well.)

Re: [NTG-context] extra blank page in front of standardmakeup
Hi Mojca,
Both your example and Wolfgang's suggestion work fine with my installation
(Minimals on Mac OS X 10.6.3, ConTeXt ver: 2010.08.20 00:00) either with mkii,
or mkiv.
Maybe you ahve a problem with your installation?
Best regards: OK

I'm sorry. It seems that I'm always the only one with problems :) :) I first tried a fresh installation which worked perfectly fine. I retried the old installation and it was still broken (same version of ConTeXt). After that I deleted texmf-cache in the old installation and magically both problems disappeared at once. I'm sorry for the noise and thanks a lot for all the hints.
