If you like, you can test it with the following commands. I can confirm that the PDF footnote scaling issue is resolved on branch feature/footnotes. Thanks for this extraordinary quick resolution! Currently, the SUSE documentation doesn't use footnotes at all. As such, we haven't customize it. This makes me wonder about the scope of the daps project and not for the first time. Obviously the Docbook <footnote> element has been well supported by the suse and daps stylesheets for ages. But then there...

if I install the older version 2.0.6.3 of the suse-xsl stylesheets package from openSUSE LEAP then everything is fine. Interestingly, upgrading to suse-xsl-2.7.0.2 requires upgrading of package liberation-fonts to liberation2-fonts. Could this cause some font selection incompability? Anyhow, I'd assume that this problem will be reproducible on any openSUSE box with suse-xsl-2.7.0.2 by generating PDF from a simple DocBook5 document with a <footnote> element.

I just noticed that the footnotes are not only too big, they are also lacking the number on the left (while the in-text foonote reference number is present). On the other hand, when generating HTML everything is fine with the footnote.

I use the suse-xsl stylesheets from git with several minor customizations to e.g. to parameters body.font, body.font.family, booktitlepage.url, company.address and changes in colors.ent regarding FO (and several parameters in the XHTML stylesheets and style.css). If I revert all these customizations (and build and install the stylesheets) or if I install the suse-xsl stylesheets package from openSUSE LEAP (currently 2.7.0.2) footnotes in generated PDF are still too big. Running DAPS with "-vv" yields...

Hi, I just noticed that in daps PDF output built from DocBook5 sources the font size used for rendering <footnote> elements increased dramatically (its now bigger than any heading). Fortunately I had some old .fo files around in the build/.tmp directory on my production machine and found that the <fo:footnote-body> elements in FO files for unknown reason changed from <fo:footnote-body font-family="'Open Sans', OpenSans, sans-serif,'FreeSerif', serif" font-size="9pt" ... to <fo:footnote-body font-family="'Open...

I was struggling with the correct syntax a lot, hence here's a simple and working...

Hi Stefan, thanks for your response! So, the error message you have there really...
