Hallo Hans (and others)

> see font manual [mentioned in older mail]

well, I have had a close (probably not close enough) look at a file 
'mfonts-beta.pdf'. I have then tried the file (and some other variants) 
from my first mail, but no hanging glyphs apperared.

\starttext
\showframe[text]
\usetypescript[serif,sans,mono][hanging][pure]
\setupalign[hanging]
\input tufte
\stoptext

Viele Grüße,
