Many thanks for your reply, Hans.

I will wikify this, once I figure out where it can fit in the wiki (in
due time, since ConTeXt is more and more complex for me lately and my
free time is less and less these days).

I only used \enableexperiments[fonts.compact] and then \em.

I thought when I (mis)read your messages that compact fonts is the way
to go in LMTX.

This was the reason I enabled them (the sooner we test new features
today, the less issues will be faced with them tomorrow).

\glyphslant came into the conversation after experiencing an issue
triggered by enabling compact fonts.

Sorry for being explicitly verbose, but I intend to have the \em
behavior also fixed in compact fonts.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
