(Possibly, I could arrange it so that I don't have to change any environment variables, but still, since I don't need the state-of-the-art MkIV, texlive is ok for me.) If the minimal ConTeXt is the only standard way of using a full ConTeXt, then it could be rename maximal ;-) or more seriously something lire standard, hot or independant (longish) Well, it is minimal in the sense of dependencies, I guess. -- Maurice Greets -- Marcin Borkowski (http://mbork.pl) Wołałem Pana w moim udręczeniu; mego Boga, mego Boga przyzywałem!

\setstrut).
I can understand why you think this is a different problem, but both
struts and interline spaces depend on the value of 1ex, which has
changed in an incompatible way. Perhaps you should post a complete
minimal example.
But (unless the font data is really bad) we are talking about slight
differences. And you can't call a 12.6pt strut for a 8pt font a slight
change. :)
I will (try to) make a minimal example...
Looks like this is font related. I have tried the attached example with
LM and there where no noticible differences (not at first sight). Same
example with Tahoma and things go the wrong way.
nothing wrong ... it's just that afm2tfm (or whatever you use for mkii)
uses some funny method for calculating the ex height
in mkiv we use the xheight spec from the font (defined in the font in
this case) or the height of an 'x'
\showstruts
2.8ex: \the\dimexpr2.8ex\par
\strut qgjyQWT\par
1ex: \the\dimexpr 1ex\par
\setbox0\hbox{x}ht(x):\the\ht0\par
2.8*ht(x): \the\dimexpr2.8\ht0
if you look at the font it's pretty clear that it has a large x-height
so you can best use a different interline specification, like
x\strut qgjyQWT\par
\setupinterlinespace[line=1.2\bodyfontsize]
x\strut qgjyQWT\par
you might even want to change the height:depth ratio (keep in mind that
we cannot predict these things, so it always is a matter of tuning
I see clear now. Would have been much faster, if I hadn't interrupted
this problem by screwing on my new computer (sorry, I couldn't resist).
Anyhow I need to rethink my font concept. If I have to setup all these
parameters, the simple \definefont isn't sufficient anymore. Probably an
external defined \setup will do best.
Thanks to all of you who helped me with this problem, also for your
patience :)

hm, something is missing in the mkii file
\unprotect \definepropertyhandler \v!stretch{0} \protect
(you can also tune the 'normal effect')
consider all this a hack, since tex does not know about the right

in mkiv there's
\start \dosetstretch{.25em} \setuptolerance[tolerant,stretch] \input

\start \dosetstretch{.5em} effe flink doorfietsen \stop

Re: [NTG-context] How to box \useMPgraphic?
I'd like to insert a little MetaPost square into the running text and
properly align it vertically. So I tried:
---
\startuseMPgraphic{square}
draw unitsquare scaled StrutHeight;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\starttext
I want a square \raisebox{-\strutdepth}{\useMPgraphic{square}} in my
running text.
\stoptext
---
Unfortunately, to no avail. TeX seems to be asking for some boxed
content, so I tried to wrap the figure inclusion into a box:
\hbox{\useMPgraphic{square}}. It doesn't solve the problem either.
\inframed[frame=off]{\useMPgraphic{square}}
Thanks!
So is this the preferred command for all (horizontal) boxing related
tasks in ConTeXt (over hbox)?

Others have replied how to define this if you want arbitrary number of

use (the is some extra book-keeing because you want {..} as delimiters.

I already tried the before key but it comes to early and
