You could also try to use the MkIV version.

I see this when I search in the file but don't know how to try this… (I'm not a software ingineer at all, but a typography fan). It fact the « problem » for the moment is that I put space (and nbsp) in all my source documents (as all the french people, I think)… And it seems that ConTeXt can't deal with this for the moment.
It seems, that ConTeXt deals with that very well (attention, the following code is utf8): % engine=luatex \starttext \hsize1mm nbsp : test thinspace : test normalspace : test \stoptext Between "nbsp" and ":" is a nonbreakable space, and indeed there is no line-break. Between "thinspace" and ":" is a nonbreakable thin-space, and also no line-break. Between "normalspace" and ":" is a normal space, so there is a line-break. Does this look like what you want?
