Maybe your system is broken?

Here

\setupbodyfont[stixtwo]

\setuplayout[width=16cm]
\showmakeup

\starttext

Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer of a new
system must not only be the implementer and first
large||scale user; the designer should also write the first
user manual.
\setupbodyfont[12.895pt]

{\ss The separation of any of these four components would have
hurt \TeX\ significantly. If I had not participated fully in
all these activities, literally hundreds of improvements
would never have been made, because I would never have
thought of them or perceived why they were important.\par}

\stoptext

gives the attached. I also tried all other fonts I had, no problems.
