No. This works fine here \starttext \dorecurse{500} {\input knuth\footnote[note:\recurselevel]{this is a footnote}\endgraf} \stoptext Using ConTeXt ver: 2007.01.18 12:57 MKII fmt: 2007.1.18 Aditya

I may be off the mark, but I would guess that the two errors are, in fact, unrelated. I have seen the error about "not enough room left" with some fonts that have very large kerning tables (such as Garamdon Premier Pro). The solution was to locate your texmf.cnf and augment the value of font_mem_size I have 1200000, but it can be up to 4000000. Try that, and I hope that the footnote error will go away if ConTeXt is able to finish all needed runs. You can search for font_mem_size in the archives, and you'll see quite a few threads!
