<div>I choose bigfoot as it provided most of the features I wanted to have. But, I can check if edmac satisfies my requirements, but before, are we saying that it is a footnote package issue? Considering that it works for some fonts, I was wondering if the issue is somewhere else. Specifically, if edmac works for the same fonts, where bigfoot does not, then it could be a footnote package issue.</div>

<div>Hello</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I haven't been following this thread closely, but if the task in hand is creation of a critical edition, the Edmac package may serve your needs. It allows several layers of footnotes (up to five by default, I think, though more can be added), and each one can be formatted differently: I have used run-on app. crit. style in conjunction with two-column editorial footnotes and full-width original footnotes, each with a different cueing system (* etc. for authorial notes, superior italic letters for app. crit. [but line-numbers can be used too if one doesn't want to clutter up the text with cues], normal superscript numbers for editorial notes). Edmac's system of automatically extracting the lemma from the text and putting it in the app. crit. is a little tortuous, I find, so I have always provided the lemmata myself within the app. crit. note - but the package itself has proved robust, both in old EmTeX and now in XeTeX (I haven't used LaTeX varieties though have often been tempted!).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When I last looked at Bigfoot, it seemed to provide a great deal of extra functionality, but if you don't require all that, Edmac might work. You do need to read the documentation with some care (though nowadays I tend to copy and adapt macros that I've used in earlier work, so I'm rather hazy myself about the finer points).</div>

<div>Yes. For some Sanskrit fonts, I saw it partially working.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am a bit new to `tex world'. Is there a way out? This is a very important feature for critical editions.</div>
