Hmm...maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me these commands have no effect on the in-text footnote marker; that they only apply to the footnote per se.
OK, I found two private messages from Hans from awhile back on this, before I got back to dealing with this. The relevant parts are this:
And to use your example of Frutiger, what font selection command do you use to get Frutiger Ultra Black in a chapter title? I still don't know how to use a medium small cap font in a document!
\definefont[ChapterTitleFont][Frutiger-Ultra-Black]
\setuphead[chapter][style=ChapterTitleFont]
so, that's not for typescripts but for styles
And this:
I'm not sure about hwo to deal with the footnote font; probably composing a dedicate typeface is the best; of if it's only used for symbols, it should be just a def and mapped onto a symbol (symb-*.tex)
So, if there was a command to set the footnote marker, I'd need to do a \definefont for a special "FootnoteFont."
However, there is no such command; right? Seems like it might be useful.
I don't really understand the above comment, or how I operationalize it. Can someone (Hans?) explain?
busy .... if you want, you can use the new footnote module (that i made for idris) which gives you footnote classes that are configurable; i can more easily add new features to that one, so let me know if you want to volunteer .. Hans
