Good evening, I agree. What I meant was that if protruding of drop caps was possible, one could use the function manually, and protrude the drop cap by trial & error until it appeared optically aligned in the output. > One of the overriding concerns in the mom macros is ensuring > that no pages hang, hence the penalty is to move the footnote > of a footnote reference that occurs too close to the bottom > of the page over to the next page. > > Maybe I should create some hell for myself and offer users > the choice of penalty strategy? :) Personally, I think a foonote ref on one page and a footnote on the next is more obtrusive to the reader than a page that is hung, but other people may have other opinions. I found this in the archives, written by you last year (I think): "However, no cross-reference facilities.
