Hi Pablo,

1. Here is my current version on Linux : ConTeXt  ver: 2016.05.15 20:46 MKIV beta  fmt: 2016.5.16 (and the same on Windows).
2. I've tried to install GFS Didot on Windows, but I did'nt find TTF... And when I copy files in c:/windows/fonts, ce system complains. How do you do that ? 
3. We use both the same source file.
4. I was dummy : I was not aware of the mean of \definelinenote !
5. Note that here, the \dorecurse{50} command seems to produce an unexpected effect : the latin text takes place of the greek one with its lines numbers (I really don't know if the \dorecurse commande is 

(Something out of the topic : under Linux, when I load GFS Didot, after reloading fonts (with mtxrun --script fonts --reload), I don't see the GFS fonts, with the command mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=didot* --all. Strange, isn't it ?)

As attached files, the TeX source, the log file and the PDF print.

Many thanks for your help !
JP

Hi Jean-Pierre,

I assume you are running the same version as the one included in
https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/085521.html (only
recursion may be set to a higher number), aren’t you?

I include at the end of the message to be sure we share the same sources.

Isn’t it possible that you install GFS Didot on that Windows system?

I’m not sure I get your point.

These are linenotes, not footnotes. References are to the line number,
not to a footnote number.

Is that what you meant?

It seems to have problems to balance the columns. But the file below
doesn’t gave me that message.

I hope it helps,

Pablo
