Italicized Trailing Space

Hey list,

I'm finding that when I change the formatting for some words to \it, the
first letter following the ending of that formatting seems to be too
close to the last italicized character. Is there any way to increase
this?

Use “… {\em …} …”.

When you use Latin Modern you change the slanted style for \em to italic with “\setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic]”.

Hey Wolfgang. I am using that style of inline syntax already, and
whether it's \em or \it in the braces, it's the same spacing effect at
the end of the content in the braces. e.g.

"This ensures that there is no {\em known} life on the {\it surface} of
Mars."

After the "known" and the "surface" words, there is not very much white
space separating them from the following word.
