i need to think about it .. maybe an option

underbar is derived from the parent but has its own offset and an offset 
is relative to the baseline and a fraction of th eunit (normally the ex 
of a font)

\setupbar[underbar][color=red,offset=-.5]

\starttext

\underbar{Test this \high{\tfxx ®}}

\stoptext

just see how underbar is defined ... if you want fixed dimensions you 
should used a fixed unit (not one derived from the current font)
