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
