Hans said that this was because they are defined as MK> double commas in ConTeXt, rather than as single letters. Indeed that's the reason: such combinations like ,, and '' can only hang properly if (1) they map to a single glyph (either by font ligs or by intervention of the macro package) and (2) there are appropriate \lpcode, \rpcode associated with the resulting glyph. I wonder if something could be done by changing the left protruding factor of the comma, since \lowerleftdoubleninequote maps to ,, and not a single glyph, but I'm not sure about it. Encoding/regime mappings are indeed one of the weak spots of ConTeXt (it figures, considering how recent they are, and how boring it is to build the relevant tables ...). I plan to dedicate some time to this stuff soon (say, in two weeks' time). -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
