Support for Indic scripts / fonts. (I think we had a little bit of 
correspondence on this mailing list three or four years ago about this, 
and we were not able to convert and use the TrueType fonts I required.)

Which specific indic scripts?

1. setupnotation is the new command name for setupnotedefinition



2. Which language do you use in your document?


Kannada. This is one of the world's larger languages, belonging to the 
Dravidian language family, spoken in the southern Indian state of 
Karnataka (its capital city Bangalore / Bengaluru is known outside India 
mainly as the centre of India's IT industry).


I am about to finish writing the first comprehensive modern teaching 
manual of the language for non-Indian learners, and this is the kind of 
book that one can hardly leave to typesetters. First I was thinking of 
producing the ready-to-print PDF in XeLaTeX, but… oh, well, we're among 
ourselves here, so I think I need not go into the details of why I 
prefer to do it in ConTeXt. :-)

Hi Robert,

I don't understand if you need solution for MkII, or
if you tried something from MkII.

For MkIV you can use this:

defmycmd#1{startcolor[kleur]#1stopcolor}
setupnotation[footnote][numbercommand=mycmd]

(But I don't know whether it will work witk MkII.)


Thank you for the proffered help – but I found a very similar snippet of 
code in a message to this list from 2015 and tried it.


Mk II does not have \setupnotation[footnote] yet, and when I 
'translated' it to \setupfootnotes (which ordinarily ought to work in Mk

However, Wolfgang gave the solution! I do not know why that is the 
solution :-), but it works.

It works! Thank you for the solution.

One thing that puzzles me, however, is that you (Wolfgang) are able to 
produce solutions using (so it seems) undocumented commands and 
parameters. How did you hit upon the idea to use 'rulecolor' here? I 
rely on the ConTeXt manual (2013 version), and there is nothing there 
to suggest that 'rulecolor' determines the colour of the text of 
footnotes. Neither did the Wiki help me.


Is there some hidden documentation I do not know about?
You can look them up in the command reference which exists since a very 
long time (the current version is MkIV/LuaTeX only):
