General ⇒ Custom Footnote

[henry7849]

The following code produces a footnote so that the footnote mark can be
repeated. It seems there is a bug with this. The footnote mark is indeed
repeated, but there is too large a white-space between the end letter (right before the footnote mark)
and the footnote mark itself. Is there anyway we could get a fix for this?

thanks,
henry
