Hi all,

With the latest beta, the issue with the size of the gentium font is solved but till there is still 
an issue with the distance between "Hello" and "World"
I tested this with the following example

\usetypescript[gentium]
\starttext
Hello \switchtobodyfont[gentium] World

I saw that too. \switchtobodyfont is generating lots of spaces
when it is called in horizontal mode. They come from the
\definetypescriptprefix lines in the tex-gyre typescript
(type-otf.mkiv):


    \definetypescriptprefix [f:pagella] [pagella]
\definetypescriptprefix [f:palatino]   [pagella]

et cetera. Each lines adds two extra blanks: one is the space
after the first command, the second is the newline after the second
command.

we can try to ignore lines, but even then, it's better to do:

\usetypescript[gentium]
\setupbodyfont[gentium]
\setupbodyfont[whatever]

\starttext

Hello {\switchtobodyfont[gentium] World ... }

this is because \switchtobodyfont is doing a lot and is supposed to be used grouped, so performance wise it's better first to trigger it once
