Hello, ConTeXt mailing list! I have a question regarding a difference
in the code that I have which uses the same paper size and margin
settings, and also the same indentation rules and font size and font.
It seems that ConTeXt (which I compiled via Windows Terminal, this
*is* the proper way to compile ConTeXt docs, right?) seems to make
text that is less... compact, and I am not sure if this is due to me
not adding features that I **should** have turned on in ConTeXt when
using Times New Roman that is installed by default on Windows. I also
was not able to get a "proper (?)" single quote like when Word or
LaTeX compiles "Don't", that ' is a straight quote in the compiled text.
I also heard that ConTeXT would be much better for typography since
it does have a more advanced typographical engine as the base (and
this is a big reason as to why I want to switch to ConTeXt, pretty
much everything is built in, I just can't understand documentation
that well), and this may be because my code is very basic and I do
not know how do properly do ConTeXt. Is it possible that ConTeXt also
has a more "correct" way of formatting? Anyways, thank you for
reading and taking the time to read this post.

Can you explain what you mean with less compact? Can we assume that
you are running the LMTX version? (luametatex engine)

\setupbodyfont[termes,12pt]
To get Times New Roman as font replace the \setupbodyfont line from the
example of Hans
with the following settings. The \definefontfeature line replaces all '
in your text with
a apostrophe.
\definefontfeature [default] [default] [trep=yes]
\definefontfamily [TimesNewRoman] [rm] [Times New Roman]
\definetypeface [TimesNewRoman] [mm] [math] [termes]
\setupbodyfont [TimesNewRoman,12pt]
