Peter—

You must put
	\usetypescript[serif,sans,mono,mm][hanging][normal]
	\setupalign[hz,hanging]
before you define the font. In your example, these commands are  
coming after the default is identified. This means that if you want  
to get margin kerning and so forth with Latin Modern, you must  
actually re-specify Latin Modern.

In your preamble, try

%%%%	  Margin Kerning and Font Expansion
\usetypescript[serif,sans,mono,mm][hanging][normal]
\setupalign[hz,hanging]
\setupfootnotes[align={hz,hanging}]

% install Latin Modern
% we must install margin kerning before the font is loaded: since  
Computer Modern is
% loaded before our definitions, we must load it again

\usetypescript [all] [latin-modern] [texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[reset]
\definebodyfont [10.5pt,9.5pt] [rm,ss,tt,mm] [default]
\setupbodyfont[lm,10.5pt]


This works for me. I hope it does for you too.

Cheers, Alan
