Changing footnote label font in KOMA classes

Question

How can I change the font used for the footnote marker in the body of the text, especially in the KOMA classes?

KOMA-Script lets me change the footnote font label in the footnote, e.g.

\addtokomafont{footnotelabel}{\sffamily}

but I can't see how to change the label in the text.

A reason for my asking is that I have some fonts that don't have the full complement of characters in \textsuperscript, so only some footnote labels in the text appear as they should.

Answer 1

You can set the font of the footnote reference in text with the footnotereference element.

The element which fonts you can change with \setkomafont and \addkomafont are described in

• Tabelle 3.2 of the German KOMA-Script manual, pages 57ff., and
• table 3.2 of the English KOMA-Scrip manual, page 51ff.

Code

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\setkomafont{footnotereference}{\ttfamily}
\begin{document}
Hello World!\footnote{Hello World!}
\end{document}

Output
