Thanks, Pablo and Henning
I suppose I am making a mistake with my setupinterlinearspace. My school asks for Times New Roman (I use termes) 12pt and onehalfspacing. In latex I used linespread{1.3} and so I supposed setting ConTeXt with setupinterlinearspace[1.3ex] was the right way (I read somewhere that vertical spaces should be measured in ex and horizontal spaces in em; maybe it's not widely accepted). I tried setting my interlinearspace to 3ex and it looked much better, but I must compare it with a onehalfspacing of wordprocessors to be sure it is not such different.
The unit ex uses the x-height value of the font as dimension, the x-height is the height of the lowercase x (actually it's a value in the font which is most cases equal to the height of the lowercase x) as can be seen in the output of the following example. \starttext \heightofstring{x} \the\exheight \stoptext To get one and a half line of interlinespace with ConTeXt you can set a fixed value with the \setupinterlinespace command. \setupinterlinespace[line=18pt] \showgrid \starttext \samplefile{lorem} \stoptext Wolfgang
