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] ? Steffen - always surprised by the amount of unexpected keywords...
