Hi Hans, Could you please have a look at the following problem. When I typeset footnotes with the bodyfont CM either rm or ss then the footnotes are typeset as expected. However once I start using Pallatino or other non CM fonts then I get the reference number to the footnote in the text as a superscript figure but in the normal bodyfont. Further only the introductory figure in front of the footnote is typeset as defined with \setupfootnote. The text of the footnote is typeset in the ordinary bodyfont. Is there a problem with the internal fontswitching? Thanks Willi
