So I make another try - hopefully clearer: The problem was when defining an unusual size for my footnotes > \setupfootnotes[bodyfont=8.5pt, ... ] I get an amazing amount of messages > bodyfont: bodyfont XXpt is defined (can be better done global) with XX being various sizes. Which makes processing real slow... So the original question is: What is meant by "global defining"? Where should I write a "global" definition and how does it look like? On this, Hans gave me the advice: > \setupbodyfont [...] : global settings, document level, main text as well as headers footers etc > \switchtobodyfont[...] : local, inside a box or in page stream, but no headers etc I was not sure how to use this for footnotes, so I asked: > Well, yes - I use setupbodyfont for defining the main text > \setupbodyfont[AGaramondOldStyle,10.5pt] > But what would be the syntax when I want to define the main text's *and* the footnote's font with setupbodyfont?? > It's not \setupbodyfont[AGaramondOldStyle,10.5pt,8.8pt] ? And then Hans wrote: > \setupfootnotes[bodyfont=8.8pt] % or [bodyfont={whatever,you,want,10pt}] But this is the initial problem (see top here). The circle is closed... Does this mean there is actually no answer to my problem? Thank you for assistance, Steffen
