For various reasons, I need to include two footnotes at the beginning of my document referenced with symbols rather than numbers; it does not matter what symbols I use, so long as they are not numbers. I know can do this with:
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\fnsymbol{footnote}}
some text.\footnote{some footnote text}. some more text.\footnote{some more footnote text}
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\fnsymbol{footnote}}
This works when I use mathpazo
or mathptmx
as my font, but not with MinionPro
. The MinionPro manual specifically states that the font is incompatible with amssymb
and amsfonts
, but even when I comment these out, I get ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [parameter stack size=10000]
and I get a 1-page output file with just the title. As soon as I revert to a font other than MinionPro
, the problem disappears and the whole document compiles without a hitch. Similarly, if I keep MinionPro
as the font but declare only one non-numeric footnote, everything goes smoothly.
MininionPro
, it would be helpful to know the version of the package. What is the second\renewcommand
supposed to do exactly?
