You can also use \quotation:
\enableregime[utf]
\mainlanguage[fr] % if you're writing in French
\starttext
Both «a» and \quotation{a} work OK here.
\stoptext
Btw:
- \useencoding[utf8] has no sense
- You are free to use \rightguillemet, so you don't need to depend on
Adobe naming scheme unless you work on low level with fonts.

Just tried it with default LM, ec, and texnansi. No problem that I can see. Question to toto: What's your font setup for the document? No font selecting command. It seems to be cm. I use two commands into my document without knowing beeing sure of what they do: \useencoding[utf8] and \enableregime[utf] (Someone asked what encoding, you answered UTF-8, which in ConTeXt parlance is the input regime. We're also asking about the font's output encoding. More at: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Encodings_and_Regimes ) I have no \usetypescript or \setupbodyfont commands.

Any idea?
I also tried, following the manual, \inmarge and then learned that
it is Dutch and doesn't work with the (mewer) version I had. Use
\inmargin instead.

Which encoding are you using? Try \texttilde

input them directly, or try \leftguillemot and \rightguillemot (yes,
the names are moronic, but that's Adobe's fault)
- I would like to make a glossary, ie an index with a definition
for each entry. Many parts of the manual could help me but i don't
really now in which direction to dig: is it a list of definition?
Should I use registers?

For these two, others will have to help.

ok. With \inmargin it works fine. But my optional parameter
[width=\marginwidth] is not allowed here. How could I tell to scale my
graphic without saying it directly when creating the metapost graphic?
Thanks a lot

I'm using utf-8 encoding. \texttilde works great, thanks :) It outputs
a tilda that is a bit high but i don't know if a lower one exists.
Thanks a lot!

I'm using \enableregime[utf]. I should find the french guillemets :)
But \leftguillemot and \rightguillemot are working fine.
Thanks a lot for all answers :)
