Yes, spacing.  I take your point, but I think the spacing is too much, 
while perhaps the LaTeX example (also attached), is a bit cramped.  I 
still think the latter is more natural...

Also, I take back from previous "it works" comment.  It doesn't, and 
I'm not sure where the problem is (it could even be in the tfm).  I 
have a typescript that has:

\starttypescript [serif] [minionpro] [name]

   \definefontsynonym [Serif]               [MinionPro-Regular]
   \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps]           [MinionPro-Caps]
   \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps]           [MinionPro-BoldCaps]
   \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted]        [MinionPro-RegularItalic]
   \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic]         [MinionPro-RegularItalic]
   \definefontsynonym [SerifBold]           [MinionPro-Bold]
   \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldSlanted]    [MinionPro-BoldItalic]
   \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic]     [MinionPro-BoldItalic]
   \definefontsynonym [SerifFootnote]       [MinionPro-FN]

\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [serif] [minionpro,minionpro-osf] [texnansi]

   \definefontsynonym[MinionPro-Bold]        [MinionPro-Bold-OSF-8y] 
[encoding=texnansi]
   \definefontsynonym[MinionPro-BoldItalic] 
[MinionPro-BoldIt-OSF-8y][encoding=texnansi]
   \definefontsynonym[MinionPro-BoldSlanted] 
[MinionPro-BoldIt-OSF-8y][encoding=texnansi]
   \definefontsynonym[MinionPro-Caps]      [MinionPro-Regular-OSFSC-8y] 
[encoding=texnansi]
   \definefontsynonym[MinionPro-BoldCaps]      [MinionPro-Bold-OSFSC-8y] 
[encoding=texnansi]
   \definefontsynonym[MinionPro-Regular]        
[MinionPro-Regular-OSF-8y] [encoding=texnansi]
   \definefontsynonym[MinionPro-RegularItalic] 
[MinionPro-It-OSF-8y][encoding=texnansi]
   \definefontsynonym[MinionPro-RegularSlanted] 
[MinionPro-It-OSF-8y][encoding=texnansi]
   \definefontsynonym[MinionPro-FN]        [MinionPro-Regular-FN-8y] 
[encoding=texnansi]

\stoptypescript

And I have in the doc header:

\def\FootnoteNumber%
{\switchtobodyfont[Serif]}

\setupfootnotes[numbercommand=\FootnoteNumber]
\setupfootnotedefinition[
after=\blank,
style={\switchtobodyfont[SerifFootnote]},
]

A)  Can I do this with this command?

B)  If yes, how?  Or is the above correct, and I should look elsewhere?
