Wolfgang, Hans—many thanks to you both!
Part of the problem was that i was using \| instead of \textbar. I now have:
\setupbodyfont[antykwa-poltawskiego]
\def\test
{\ifnum\lastnodetype=\gluenodecode
\|
\else
\textbar
\fi}
\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]
\starttext
left\test middle \test right
\stoptext
which looks good on the page—\quad\textbar\quad puts too much space around
the bar.
Again, thanks!
Alan
