Then it is not a sensible minimal document. 

You have a problem with a footnote definition. To demonstrate the
problem  the lipsum package and a small document body should be
enough:

\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
text\footnote{\lipsum[1]}
\end{document}

Add to this minimal body the part of the preamble needed to
reproduce the problem. Start with your footnote definitions (between
\makeatletter and \makeatother). Then add if necessary other
packages.

Well, it looks to me as if the expansion of @makefntext tries
to perform an assignment to \parindentFFN (even though
you omitted an explicit assignment operator); surely this is

Ah, but what you have, rather than an indentation, is the intended
/dimension /of the intendation (ten inches, in this case).  If you want
this dimension to be used to effect an indentation, then you need to
add a command to cause an indentation (of specified dimension)
to take place.  I don't speak LaTeX, but you might consider (e.g.)

\renewcommand \@makefntext [1]%

I'm sure '10in' is a mistake - rather 10pt?

And try replacing

\hbox to \parindentFFN {}

with

\hbox to \parindentFFN{\hfill}

(no space after FFN).

I would also replace

\@thefnmark.~#1

with

\@thefnmark.\kern 0.5em #1


Otherwise the ~ will give a variable space after each footnote-cue, whereas 
it will look much better if there is a consistent space between each cue and 
the text of the footnote (it doesn't have to be 0.5em:  you could say 5pt, 
or whatever you think will look best).


But I don't speak LaTeX either, and you may be doing something else wrong!

To be honest, I wouldn't worry about the \makeatletter nonsense; it really
isn't at the heart of your problem.  If you are getting an \hbox that is 
overfull

by over 381pt (5.27), the numbers have all but disappeared, and the text
appears to be cut, then John Was's suggestion that an indentation of ten
inches might not have been what you intended may well be the cause.

I can't take time to absorb that, but it looks as if it wants to force the 
indentation at the start of a footnote to be 1.5em, which ought to be OK 
(rather more than I would have, but no matter just now).


Just before the first line of your text (after you've loaded all your 
packages and so on), try


\global\parindentFFN=1.5em

and see what happens.  Whatever is going on, it looks as if with your 
current coding the program is attempting to put a giant amount of space 
(surely wider than your actual text width) before the footnote cue, and that 
is creating chaos.


If that is no good, I think I'll have to bow out of this thread - sorry!

You could try to mix babel and polyglossia:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{french}
\setotherlanguage{greek}
\begin{document}
abc\footnote{blub}
\end{document}

 So, back to my question:

No. The KOMA-classes have commands to change the footnote format.
With the standard classes you will have to redefine \@makefntext
e.g. (look in frenchb.ldf to find the french settings):

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{polyglossia,lipsum}
\setmainlanguage{french}
\setotherlanguage{greek}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\@makefntext[1]{%

 But what if I have other secondary languages, namely: Dutch, English,
 Italian, German and Latin ? Should I load them via polyglossia or babel?

As a rule of thumb I would say: every language which uses a
non-western script (greek, russian, arabic etc) should/can only be
used through polyglossia. For the rest try babel if you are missing
(like in french) features. 

Btw: When I say try I meant it. I have no idea if the
babel/polyglossia will clash somewhere. Also frenchb of babel is a
rather complicated language style and even sometimes gives problems
with other babel languages.

This works fine, except that it completely does away with the original

 This works fine, except that it completely does away with the original
 indentation of footnotes, which I wish to conserve. Actually I'm under
 the impression that French footnotes do require even more indentation
 than normal ones.

As I wrote:  look in frenchb.ldf to find the french settings. The
definition of \@makefntext above is a simple example. Adjust it to
your need.

[XeTeX] Customizing footnote markers

2011-05-24 Thread Alessandro Ceschini
Hello everybody,

In Babel, if I set the main language to French, I get French-style
footnote markers, that is:
1. Note text
(No superscript number and followed by a point).
But in Polyglossia this style isn't activated by default. Is there a way
to activate it? The package footmisc doesn't seem to offer such an
option.

Thank you for helping me,
