Hi,

is italic correction still supported with MkIV because in the following example 
the second sentence has the same length as the first.

% engine=pdftex

\starttext
\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{A short sentence with a {\it italic} word.}   
\the\wd\scratchbox\ : \box\scratchbox\par
\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{A short sentence with a {\it italic\/} word.} 
\the\wd\scratchbox\ : \box\scratchbox
\stoptext

yes and no:

yes: the code is there
no : it has not been adapted to the font cleanup

So, first fix this in font-ext.lua:

            local descriptions = tfmdata.descriptions
            for unicode, d in next, tfmdata.characters do
                local d = descriptions[unicode]

Then enable the feature:

\starttext

\definefontfeature[one][default]
\definefontfeature[two][default][itlc=yes]

\definefont[testa][SerifItalic*one]
\definefont[testb][SerifItalic*two]

\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{A short sentence with a {\testa italic} word.} \the\wd\scratchbox\ : \box\scratchbox\par \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{A short sentence with a {\testa italic\/} word.} \the\wd\scratchbox\ : \box\scratchbox

\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{A short sentence with a {\testb italic} word.} \the\wd\scratchbox\ : \box\scratchbox\par \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{A short sentence with a {\testb italic\/} word.} \the\wd\scratchbox\ : \box\scratchbox

\stoptext
