There is more to it then a preference for \crlf, typescript loading introduces a lot of spurious white, that not always can be made to disappear. I tracked it down to a macro in type-ini.mkvi:
\def\font_typescript_process_typescript_file_and_store {*\expandafter\let\expandafter\t_font_typescripts\csname\??typescriptfiles\currenttypefile\endcsname A\ifx\t_font_typescripts\relax B\font_typescript_process_typescript_store_indeed C\fi D\the\t_font_typescripts} The ABCD*'s were added to see what happens. See the screen shot from one of my tests (<br/> results in \crlf but does not sit between text and fontswitch \switchtobodyfont). My guess is that the token register \t_font_typescripts is the source of the spaces, but I am not further than that. I have already mailed Hans Hagen about these findings.

Is this intentional or is it something like a % missing somewhere in a macro? Hans van der Meer Sorry, flew accidentally to early away. Here the attached output. \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \setupbodyfont[lucidaot] \starttext First line.\crlf \start \switchtobodyfont[euler] Font switch here.\crlf \stop Last line. \hairline First line.\crlf \start Font switch here.\crlf \stop Last line. \stoptext Is there a reason why you use \crlf to end the lines? When you would end the paragraph after each line the additional line wouldn't appear.
