Yes this works (well, the ss doesn't, but that's probably because of 
something with my typescript).

So the question is, what does this tell me about specifying the 
footnote font?  Or in more general terms, what if I wanted -- for some 
reason -- to use the sans italic font for the footnote marker?  Am just 
not understanding the logic of font selection here (obviously!).  Do I 
need to do some funky \definetypeface command?
