Please do texexec elend_mix_dummy.

I see. In ConTeXt \ss is used to switch to sans serif. Use \SS instead.
Also, in de-mode, you can say things like "u and "s to get them fast. Less
portable, but useful when a language has so many "'s (in polish it's /z and
so). 

Maybe \es would be a nice alternative? What do the germans on this list
think of it? 

Some day I make a \sf and let users choose -)

You can play with:

\definebodyfontenvironment
  [9pt]
  [interlinespace=11pt]

Or, more general, change de defaults: 

\setupinterlinespace
  [height=.72,
   depth=.28,
   top=1.0,
   bottom=0.4,
   line=2.8ex]

into for instance:

line=3ex

probably your font has a different relation between max height an depth of
a line.
