I cannot see the italic correction. Neither in the default not, nor in lucidaot.
An explicit \/ (plain TeX material!) makes no difference.
Addition of \setupitaliccorrection[always] also did not make a difference.
What am I doing wrong?
% italic correction
\setuppapersize[A6][A6]
%\setupbodyfont[lucidaot]
\starttext
{\it n}:{\it n}\crlf
{\it n\/}:{\it n}\crlf
\stoptext
