Whether there is a difference or not depends on your text, when you have
a wide
text block and short words TeX can produce good results without the need for
additional parameters but when you have a narrow text blocks (e.g. for
text in
columns) or long words you need additional settings.
The example below shows how different options can result in different
line breaks
but not all sample text produce the same effect, sometimes you get the
same result
with and without verytolerant etc.
Don't forget to enable expansion and protrusion before you use the
hanging and hz
options because they need these font features.
%%%% begin example
\definefontfeature [default] [default]
[expansion=quality,protrusion=quality]
\setuppapersize [A5]
\defineframed
[Example]
[width=max,
offset=none,
framecolor=lightgray]
\starttext
\startprocesscommalist[normal,{normal,verytolerant},{normal,stretch},{normal,hanging},{normal,hz}]
\starttitle[title=\currentcommalistitem]
\startframed[Example][align=\currentcommalistitem]
\samplefile{tufte}
\stopframed
\stoptitle
\stopprocesscommalist
\stoptext
%%%% end example
