1. columns and marginal notes conflict:

For some of the issues, it would be perhaps a good idea to make proper
bug-reports (with minimal example of course).

In some other venue?

In a separate thread, with a minimal example, that one can copy-paste and see the error. Trying to guess what is wrong is difficult.

P.S.: Please consider fixing or changing your email client: it breaks the 
threads.

Gmail.  This is broken?

For some reason, none of your responses contain a References: header. So, threading gets broken. Normally, gmail works fine, so I don't know why the headers are beings stripped in this case.

2. leftward protrusion fails
\definefontfeature[...][default][...,protrusion=quality,expansion=quality]
\setupalign[hanging,hz]
\showgrid  % or \showframe
There is no leftward protrusion at all.  Everything on the left edge
is flush with the margin, even 'T' and 'J'.  Similarly:

Don't know what you mean, works here.

\definefontfeature[default][default][protrusion=quality]

\usetypescript[modern]
\setupbodyfont[modern]

The only difference I see is that I'm trying to use a different font
than modern:

\usetypescriptfile[type-garamond]
\starttypescript [MTbook]
   \definetypeface[MTbook][rm][serif][garamondMD][optical]
...

These details are important. Also a link to which Garamond you are using.

\stoptypescript

\usetypescript[MTbook]
\setupalign[hanging,hz]
\setupbodyfont[MTbook,12pt]

So, leftward protrusion only works with Latin Modern?


3. protrusion fails in footnotes:
Even on the right edge.  Hz isn't happening in them either.

You have to enable it separate for notes.

\setupnote[footnote][align={normal,hanging}]

I got rightward protrusion with that, but it looks like no hz.
Why are the key-values different? I also tried {quality,quality} and
got nothing.

Again, a minimal example is needed.

5. footnotes break between pages
How do I stop this?

No example, no help!

Imagine:

<one page full of lorem ipsum... containing \footnote{half-page of
lorem ipsum...} >

The footnote will begin on page one, break halfway through, and
continue on the following page.  I want to prevent footnotes from
breaking in this way.
If you really need to see 1.5 pages of concrete "lorem ipsum" posted
to understand the problem, I can provide it.

I don't know this

9. \raisebox?
What is the proper way to raise or lower a bit of text?  I just spent
...

\raisebox{1ex}{?}

When I try:

\raisebox{1ex}{--}

Context stops on the error:

"A <box> was supposed to be here

\raisebox{1ex}{
                --}"

Provide a box :-) \raisebox{1ex}{\hbox{--}} (untested)


Yep. But when you actually run into one of these problems in LaTeX, you
are often more or less left alone - unlike ConTeXt and this list.

I'm pursuing it with the hope of more beautiful results, but I'm not
getting my problems solved here so far.
