Just tried the following code:
-------------------------------------------------
\starttext
\placefigure[right]{none}{\externalfigure[foo][width=4cm,height=4cm]}
Voici a very silly \input tufte

\blank[1cm]

\placefigure[right]{none}{\externalfigure[foo][width=4cm,height=4cm]}
\lettrine {V}{oici} a very silly \input tufte
\stoptext
--------------------------------------------------------------
There is a strange behaviour of \placefigure[right] when using
\lettrine (see PDF at http://people.vnoss.org/~vnpenguin/pub/context/drop.pdf )

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
