The following code has the right character spacing spacing in the body text but not in the footnote.

\startcomponent Test \mainlanguage[fr] \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] Le début est lacunaire; le début est lacunaire: le début est lacunaire. Est-ce que le début est lacunaire? \quote{Il n’y a pas de titre final}?% \footnote{Le début est lacunaire; le début est lacunaire: le début est lacunaire. Est-ce que le début est lacunaire? \quote{Il n’y a pas de titre final}?}

\stopcomponent

I am running the latest standalone.

Any suggestions?

ConTeXt resets a few features for the notes and you have to enable them for the notes block. Add the following lines to your document and it should work.

\startsetups[footnote:french] \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] \stopsetups

\setupnote[footnote][setups=footnote:french]
