Hello, ConTeXt mailing list! I have a question regarding a difference in the code that I have which uses the same paper size and margin settings, and also the same indentation rules and font size and font. It seems that ConTeXt (which I compiled via Windows Terminal, this *is* the proper way to compile ConTeXt docs, right?) seems to make text that is less... compact, and I am not sure if this is due to me not adding features that I **should** have turned on in ConTeXt when using Times New Roman that is installed by default on Windows. I also was not able to get a "proper (?)" single quote like when Word or LaTeX compiles "Don't", that ' is a straight quote in the compiled text.
I also heard that ConTeXT would be much better for typography since it does have a more advanced typographical engine as the base (and this is a big reason as to why I want to switch to ConTeXt, pretty much everything is built in, I just can't understand documentation that well), and this may be because my code is very basic and I do not know how do properly do ConTeXt. Is it possible that ConTeXt also has a more "correct" way of formatting? Anyways, thank you for reading and taking the time to read this post.

ConTeXt code: https://pastebin.com/DsMnxMvY Can you explain what you mean with less compact? Can we assume that you are running the LMTX version? (luametatex engine)

To get Times New Roman as font replace the \setupbodyfont line from the example of Hans with the following settings. The \definefontfeature line replaces all ' in your text with a apostrophe. \definefontfeature [default] [default] [trep=yes] \definefontfamily [TimesNewRoman] [rm] [Times New Roman] \definetypeface [TimesNewRoman] [mm] [math] [termes] \setupbodyfont [TimesNewRoman,12pt] Wolfgang
