[NTG-context] [***SPAM***] trouble with kerncharacters

I found a solution that suits me:

[NTG-context] How to prevent moving figure on the next page?
Hi list,
I need help to undestand this effect: If setuphead[chapter][page=no] and after
figure start a new chapter, than figure is moved to the page 2, although on
page 1 space is enough. Thanks.
\setuppapersize[A5][A5]
\setupbodyfont[10pt]
\setuphead[chapter][page=no]
\showframe
\starttext
\chapter {One}
\dorecurse{2}{\input{knuth}}
\placefigure[here][figure]{Description}
{\externalfigure[figure][width=5cm,height=2.0cm]}
% if setuphead[chapter][page=no] and this comment transform to text, than
figure moves to page 1. What do I need to figure always placing on page 1?
\chapter {Two}

Thanks, Philipp!
Now I realized that before the first use of "switchtobodyfont" I need to write
"definebodyfontenvironment". In this case, everything is fine.
I also found another way without definebodyfontenvironment:
\definemeasure[AAA][20.123pt]
\newdimen\BBB \BBB=25.127pt
\starttext
TEXT
% ok
\normalizebodyfontsize\normalizedAAA{\measure{AAA}}
\switchtobodyfont[\normalizedAAA]
AAA \normalizedAAA
% ok
\normalizebodyfontsize\normalizedBBB\BBB
\switchtobodyfont[\normalizedBBB]
BBB \normalizedBBB
\stoptext
Is this code correct? Or it's better for some reason using
"definebodyfontenvironment"?

[NTG-context] Setup font size by dimension variable
Hi all,
I want to set the font size by using the dimension variable, but it doesn't
work. What am I doing wrong?
\definemeasure[AAA][20pt]

\starttext
TEXT
% don't work
\switchtobodyfont[\measure{AAA}]
AAA
% don't work
\switchtobodyfont[\the\BBB]
BBB
% ok
\switchtobodyfont[20pt]
TEXT 20pt

[NTG-context] [***SPAM***] Shifting table header when using overlay
Hi All,
I'm trying to get a table header with such bottom border:
||
I plan to use an overlay to overlap the the internal borders of the cells. But
in this case, the table header somehow slightly shifted to the left relative to
the body (see attachment). Is it possible to remove this effect? Or maybe there
is another way to achieve the desired border? Thanks.

draw (0,2pt)--(OverlayWidth,2pt) withpen pensquare scaled 1pt withcolor red;
clip currentpicture to OverlayBox;
setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox;
