Hi,

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...

What is meant by "global defining"? Where should I write a "global" definition and how does it look like?

Sorry, but I really have now idea.

\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

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] ?

\setupfootnotes[bodyfont=8.8pt] % or [bodyfont={whatever,you,want,10pt}]

Oh Hans! Now we are running in circles. Have a look at the beginning of this thread: exactly this is the problem ... Steffen
