The following minimal example \definefontfamily[mainface][serif][TeX Gyre Termes Serif] \setupbodyfont[mainface,15pt] \setupnotes[footnote][bodyfont={mainface,12pt}] \starttext text\footnote{Still more} and more text\footnote{And then again} \stoptext gets the size of the first note at 12 pt but sets the second at 15pt. How can I fix this? Alan
