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
