I use texlive 2009.
If the main font is an external font, and xltxtra is loaded, the
latex's \footnote command will generate error. For example:
below tex file works well:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont{Times Roman}
\begin{document}
test\footnote{footnote}
\end{document}
And this one is OK (load external font and remove the xltxtra package)
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\setmainfont[
ExternalLocation={/home/xxxx/.fonts/},
]{TimesRoman.ttf}
\begin{document}
test\footnote{footnote}
\end{document}
But this one cause an error (both use xltxtra and external font):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont[
ExternalLocation={/home/wn/.fonts/},
]{TimesRoman.ttf}
\begin{document}
test\footnote{footnote}
\end{document}
the error message is:

I believe this should be an bug in xltxtra. But I know little about
low level tex and xetex so I am unable to fix it.
