Trouble changing font family for footnotes

[Ricardo Berlasso]

(Top posting with solution)

OK, I finally solved the whole thing by manually defining font size ranges,
so I don't have to mess with defining the font for the footnotes.

% Preamble code for XeTeX

\setmainfont{EB Garamond}[ % Pardo's version of EB Garamond!

Mapping=tex-text, % https://github.com/octaviopardo/EBGaramond12

RawFeature={+ss06}, % Long tail Q

UprightFont = EB Garamond Regular,

BoldFont = EB Garamond SemiBold,

ItalicFont = EB Garamond Italic,

BoldItalicFont = EB Garamond SemiBold Italic,

UprightFeatures = { SizeFeatures = {

{Size = {-9.9}, Font = EB Garamond Medium},

{Size = {10-}, Font = EB Garamond}}},

BoldFeatures = { SizeFeatures = {

{Size = {-9.9}, Font = EB Garamond Bold},

{Size = {10-}, Font = EB Garamond SemiBold}}},

ItalicFeatures = { SizeFeatures = {

{Size = {-9.9}, Font = EB Garamond Medium Italic},

{Size = {10-}, Font = EB Garamond Italic}}},

BoldItalicFeatures = { SizeFeatures = {

{Size = {-9.9}, Font = EB Garamond Bold Italic},

{Size = {10-}, Font = EB Garamond SemiBold Italic}}},

]


\makeatletter

\renewcommand\@makefntext[1]{%

\noindent\makebox[0pt][r]{\@thefnmark.\space}#1}

\makeatother

% End code

Now the footnotes "color" is a better match for the main text color. It
works! For now, at least ;)

Regards,
Ricardo
