You can disable the bigger space at the end of a sentence with the
spacing key from \setuplanguage but as you can see from the example
below ~ creates a normal space.
\setuppapersize[A8]
\starttext
Mr. \vrule John Doe
Mr.~\vrule John Doe
Mr.\nobreakspace\vrule John Doe
Mr.\ \vrule John Doe
Mr.\narrownobreakspace\vrule John Doe
\blank
Mr. \vrule John Doe
\setuplanguage [en] [spacing=packed]
Mr. \vrule John Doe
\stoptext

What is the correct way to typeset an abbreviation in ConTeXt? The
space after the full stop seems too big and if I use \thinspace, I
cannot use ties.
No command – space is too big
\starttext
Mr. John Doe
\stoptext
With tie – space is too big
\starttext
Mr.~John Doe
\stoptext
With \thinspace – looks right except at an end of line
\starttext
Mr.\thinspace John Doe
\stoptext
Any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks,
Clyde
