You can get a better result with “\setuptype[space=stretch]” but only the “stretch” keyword for \setupalign/\setuptolerance prevents a overfull line in your example. > Also, it is possible to completely prevent line breaks for \type. \setuptype[space=fixed] You can also put the text in a \hbox with “\setuptype[command=\hbox]”. The command key from \setuptype is special because it accepts only box commands (\hbox, \vbox, \framed …).
