Why is the (local) interline space (set to 30pt or 2ex) so small compared to the frame's local (switched to 38pt) bodyfont ?

At first I thought it was related to \setupbodyfont but \setupbodyfont[38pt] doesn't make a difference.

How do you get the (local) interline spacing (pt or ex) in proportion to the local (switched to) bodyfont ?

You're funny, as you can see in my example below your text alone has
a height of 26.18pt and you set a line distance of 30pt.

\starttext

\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{\switchtobodyfont[38pt]Text In A Frame}

\the\htdp\scratchbox

\stoptext

What do you expect? TeX does only what you tell him but you get
 
 
From this example I conclude TeX does not do what you tell it to do.
 
I must be missing something... ?
 
 
a better result with a bigger line distance, the default value from
ConTeXt is 2.8ex.
