Using Minion's footnotefigures within KOMA-classes

Question

I really like to use the MinionPro package in my documents, which provides an option called footnotefigures that activates a special set of figures for footnotes.

Unfortunately this option is not fully compatibel with the KOMA-classes such as scrbook while everthing works fine for example with article. If footnotefigures is active in scrbook, the footnote figures in the text are set correctly, but not the ones in the footnotes, which I would like to change.

At the moment this incompatibility produces a rather poor outcome, especially when a 'high' character like 'h' follows the footnote figure – as you can see in this figure.

Here is a MWE

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{scrbook}
\usepackage[footnotefigures]{MinionPro}
\begin{document}
abc \vfill
\footnote{h -- First footnote.}h
\footnote{h -- Second footnote}h 
\footnote{h -- Third footnote}h 
\footnote{h -- Fourth footnote}h 
\end{document}

And here is the declaration of footnotefigures from the MinionPro package documentation.

\DeclareOption{footnotefigures}{%
\def\@makefnmark{%
\begingroup
\normalfont
\fontfamily{MinionPro-Extra}\fontencoding{U}\selectfont
\@thefnmark
\endgroup}}

Answer 1

After looking deeper into the KOMA-classes, it seems as if adding this line to the preamble does the job.

\deffootnote[1em]{1.5em}{1em}{%
  \fontfamily{MinionPro-Extra}\fontencoding{U}\selectfont\thefootnotemark}

Now the number of the footnotes share the same style in the text and in the footnotes.
