Add \definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes] before \setupbodyfont. Thanks but allthough this has an effect on the default modern, it does not made a difference for lucidaot. Is the TUG delivered lucidaot deficient with respect to the italic correction? It is hard to believe! I have two examples added, both modern and lucidaot to show the (tiny) difference.
I looked it up in the sources and found it in typo-itc.mkiv.
From there I deduced when should have something akin to: \definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes,notextitalics=yes] what are notextitalics? \setupitaliccorrection[global] (and other values) Quite involved for a font layman, like me.
Hans van der Meer Example was % italic correction \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes,notextitalics=yes] \setupitaliccorrection[global] \setupbodyfont[modern,24pt] % or with lucidaot \starttext {\it n}:{\it n}\crlf {\it n\/}:{\it n}\crlf \stoptext On 21 jul. 2012, at 14:55, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

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?
Add \definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes] before \setupbodyfont.
