As footnote will mostly be used by none-programmers, maybe it's better to rename this style. Usually a latin style with numbers will conceived as Roman, which is not at stake here. Maybe rename to "superscript"? Too I think it's a strange selection of chars. Learned meanwhile a wider range of unicode superscript numbers is available. U+2070 ^(0), U+2074 to U+207F However, only manage Char: ^(4) (70905, #o212371, #x114f9, file ...) to get displayed. (With GNU Emacs 22.0.97.1, but it might be my fault...) So maybe integrating this char and drop the rest is a step forward? Andreas Roehler
