Another command (beside \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic]) that I'll use in every project to correct an (in my opinion) wrong default behaviour of ConTeXt.
there are a few reasons for that:
I know you have your reasons. And ConTeXt is your development, not mine. But I'm a typographer, and typographers are nit-picking with unimportant matters... ;-) <typographer mode>
(1) not all fonts have an italic
Fonts without italics are no fonts.
hm, as far i know, an italic style originally is different font, a kind of mimicking handwriting; if they come with a regular font, i consider it a bonus; also, your definition turns a lot of fonts into no-fonts
(2) i don't like the computer modern italic for emphasizing text
Slanted CM is not better.
well, for our purposes it is al least less distracting than the italic -)
(3) we seldom used \em
Do you always use \it, \bf, \sl? Where's your logical markup?
