Hi, again, unfortunately close to the printing, we have found an insoluble ugly detail in the footnotes. There is a very strange thing with german umlaut (actually it took me 2 hours to see this point). Have a look at the example below: When you change the \"O to O the interlinespace snaps back to its correct value. But \"O (or Ü the same) does not always distort the interlinespace. It's just sometimes (and to me unpredictably...). As it is a quite striking feature it needs to be corrected -- but how?? \usetypescript[postscript][\defaultencoding] \setupencoding[default=texnansi] \mainlanguage[de] \enableregime[mac] \setupbodyfont[postscript,10pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=12pt] \definepapersize[MyPage][width=15.7cm,height=23.2cm] \setuppapersize[MyPage][A4] \setuplayout [width=113mm,height=576pt, backspace=20mm,topspace=15mm, header=12pt,headerdistance=6pt, footer=42pt,footerdistance=0pt, location=middle,marking=on,grid=no] \def\setnotebodyfont {\let\setnotebodyfont\relax \restoreglobalbodyfont \switchtobodyfont[rm,9pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=9.8pt]\parskip2pt} \starttext Test.\footnote{{\em R.~Schmidt}, Öff.
