Way beyond my abilities but I can demonstrate a probably-related behaviour without using fontspec : \documentclass[a4paper]{article} \font \mainfont = "[/TeX/Live/2014/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmroman10-regular]" \mainfont \usepackage[para]{footmisc} \begin{document} \footnote{{\mainfont XXxxXX just a few normal words to fill up the line up to my word hy\-phe\-na\-te\-me please}} \end{document} This hyphenates after "hyphen", which it should not. Package "footmisc" does a great deal of \unhboxing; I wonder if it is losing the original hyphenation points and then finding new ones ? ** Phil. -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
