Hi Leah,
I was typesetting some German text on a narrow page when I discovered the justification wasn't as good as expected. I think I tracked this down to differences in hyphenation points, namely, ConTeXt has fewer:
\starttext \language[de] \showhyphens{Zusammenhang} \showhyphens{anderswo} \showhyphens{anderswoher} \stoptext
This shows languages > hyphenation > show: Zusam[-||]men[-||]hang languages > hyphenation > show: anderswo languages > hyphenation > show: anders[-||]wo[-||]her Babel/ngerman sets left/righthyphenmin to 2/2, but ConTeXt sets those to 3/3 for German. (The English default is 2/3). I don't speak German so I have no idea which is correct, but you can get the same behaviour in ConTeXt with:
\mainlanguage[de] \lefthyphenmin=2 \righthyphenmin=2
You can use \setuplanguage to change the values. \setuplanguage [de] [ lefthyphenmin=2, righthyphenmin=2] Wolfgang
