Don't know what you mean, works here.

\definefontfeature[default][default][protrusion=quality]

\usetypescript[modern]
\setupbodyfont[modern]

\showframe

\starttext

\startbuffer
«text»\par
„text“\par
T\par
J\par
\stopbuffer

\getbuffer\setupalign[hanging]\getbuffer

\stoptext

You can change the height/depth ratio of a line.

\setupinterlinespace[height=0.6,depth=0.4]
