I am currently faced with an unacceptable choice (ConTeXt ver: 2009.01.18 14:39 MKII). My environment file has: \enableregime[mac] \mainlanguage[en] % use \fr, \de, e.g., for local changes %%%% Margin Kerning and Font Expansion \usetypescript[serif,sans,mono,mm][hanging][normal] \setupalign[hz,hanging] \setupfootnotes[align={hz,hanging}] \startfonthandling[greekpure] \defineprotrudefactor . 0 1 \defineprotrudefactor , 0 1 \defineprotrudefactor ; 0 1 \defineprotrudefactor ? 0 1 \defineprotrudefactor - 0 1 \defineprotrudefactor hyphen 0 1 \defineprotrudefactor endash 0 .5 \defineprotrudefactor emdash 0 .33 \stopfonthandling %%%% Default Encoding \setupencoding[default=ec] % install Latin Modern % install margin kerning BEFORE the font is loaded: since Latin Modern is % loaded before font definitions, load it again \usetypescript[lmodern][\defaultencoding] %<<== \starttypescript[serif][default][size] %<<== \definebodyfont[9.5pt,10.5pt][rm][default] \definebodyfont[9.5pt,10.5pt][mm][default] \stoptypescript %<<== \setupbodyfont[lmodern,rm,10.5pt] %\setupfontsynonym[Serif][handling=normal] % install Greek Font \usemodule[ancientgreek] [font=GreekDioxipe,scale=1.15,altfont=GreekCanonica,altscale=0.9] \setupfontsynonym[GreekDioxipe][handling=greekpure] \setupfontsynonym[GreekCanonica][handling=greekpure] If I run it as it is, the Greek fonts behave properly but I get arithmetic overflow errors as soon as ConTeXt reaches a footnote: e.g. !

If I comment the lines marked by %<<==, the Greek fonts do not print at the right size and I lose all control of the scaling. (Changing the scale accomlishes nothing.) Still, I do get footnotes and document processes properly otherwise. Again, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Alan
