[XeTeX] Footnotes

[Charles Doherty]

Dear Jonathan,

Thank you for previous help. I am using XeTeX with ConTeXt. I have a 
small file using the font Gentium. I am quoting Sanskrit words in Latin 
transliteration and I can get all the diacritical marks just fine. 
However when I use the footnote command the footnote is set in what 
seems to be computer modern not Gentium. It is the same if I use 
Hoefler. If I switch to Gentium font (say at 8pt) within the footnote 
braces I get the footnote set in Gentium. This is a chore if every 
footnote has to have the font switch. Am I doing something very silly? 
Any advice would be appreciated. The more I use your programme the more 
I enjoy it.

PS I inserted a footnote into your sample XeLaTeX file zola_faute.tex 
and the footnote was set in Zapfino.

Thanks again,
Charlie Doherty
