I tried \setupspacing[fixed] but it didn't help. To prove that the font
characters really are half a cell wide I added the line \emdash
\dorecurse{39}{ \emdash}. Files on drive are updated.

Thank you very much Wolfgang! But, there is still something weird going on with the font. I updated the files on Drive. Please see line 19, the last word "and". It is clearly out of alignment with the gid. I tested the alignment in MP and it should work, ie 2 characters are indeed one grid cell (semms from the fact that IBM Plex Mono was designed from a typewriter typeface where 12 characters are exactly 1 inch long).

Wolfgang, Aditya, thank you both very much!
I have 2 more questions:
Observe the files here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18ve5_F-BKOa-TxCWmD02mhPqNXQvNyWK?usp...
1. I'd like to shift the text area down so that the red lines align with the blue lines (I think this amount is called depth). How would I do that?
Quick and dirty:
\setuplayout [..., topspace=\dimexpr5\measured{base}+2bp+\strutdp\relax, ...]
2. The font is such that exactly 2 characters fit into the grid cell, but I see that towards the end of the line it gets out of sync with the grid. How would I ensure that all text rendered is strictly monospaced without any stretching/shrinking trickery?
Change the text alignment:
\setupalign[flushleft,broad]
Wolfgang
