General ⇒ Polyglossia: spacing before footnotemark in running text

[KO-the-typo]

Hi there,

I'm using Polyglossia with Lualatex for french documents, and it seems the spacing before footnotemark in running text is quite thin (it's a thinspace I would say).

It must quite a common question, so I looked inside the manual, on the forum and over the Web, but I haven't been able to find anything about it. Perhaps Am I missing a good keyword? Anyway, here's my MWE:

Code: Select all

% compile with Lualatex
\documentclass[a5paper]{scrbook}

% Use one of the following lines:
% \usepackage[french]{babel}
 \usepackage{polyglossia} \setmainlanguage{french}
 
\begin{document}

\Huge
Magnifique\footnote{Prima!}!

\end{document}

If you run one time with Babel, and another one with Polyglossia, you will see the difference. So here's my question: what's the trick to change this spacing with Polyglossia, in order to get it two times larger, for example?

Many thanks,

KO

Hi and welcome,

by a first glance, i wasn't able to see where a space could be introduced. There are other unresolved issues with polyglossia and french, i added this particular item to the list.

Hopefully, the author has some more time for this project in the future.

Hi and thanks,

For now, I'm using the package FNPCT, which does the kern by itself, among others features. The current version on CTAN (0.4c) is not working with french Polyglossia, but I reported it to the author, who updated it to 0.4d, which is now working.

Perhaps it's a like using a sledgehammer for a nail, but it works.

Code: Select all

% compile with Lualatex
    \documentclass[a5paper]{scrbook}

     \usepackage{polyglossia} \setmainlanguage{french}
     \usepackage{fnpct}
	 \usepackage{hyperref} %after, not before fnpct
    \begin{document}

    \Huge
    Magnifique\footnote{Prima!}!

    \end{document}
