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. Thank you, Steffen

\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

i regularly use: \setupbodyfont[9.5pt], i still get bodyfont : bodyfont 6.6pt is defined (can better be done global) bodyfont : bodyfont 6.6pt is defined (can better be done global) bodyfont : bodyfont 4.7pt is defined (can better be done global) bodyfont : bodyfont 4.7pt is defined (can better be done global) bodyfont : bodyfont 7.6pt is defined (can better be done global) bodyfont : bodyfont 7.6pt is defined (can better be done global) bodyfont : bodyfont 5.7pt is defined (can better be done global) bodyfont : bodyfont 5.7pt is defined (can better be done global) bodyfont : bodyfont 11.3pt is defined (can better be done global) bodyfont : bodyfont 11.3pt is defined (can better be done global) bodyfont : bodyfont 9.5pt is defined (can better be done global) bodyfont : bodyfont 9.5pt is defined (can better be done global) systems : begin file 030423_scope at line 33 messages during a texexec run. is this an incorrect way to specify type size? thanks, rb

there are some sizes predefined, like 8, 9, 10, 11 pt and so; for computer modern each size has its own design size fonts (or fallbacks); so in principle you should define a new size, but i think that -if you can live with the warning- there is no real need for it. alternatively you can define a typeface based on 'one design size fonts' in which case you'd have to provide additional typescripts like: \starttypescript [serif] [default] [size] \definebodyfont [4pt,5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt,9pt,9.5pt,10pt,11pt,12pt,14.4pt,17.3pt] [rm] [default] \stoptypescript and alike Hans
