[XeTeX] Restoring text to the default English font in Latex/fontspec/Bidi

[sjo]

Dear François:

Thanks for your advice which has been most helpful. I now have
footnotes working correctly (see below).

There are some further questions. The whole page is not centered (i.e.
equal left and right margins but is pushed over to the right). I don't
remember this as being standard for article style. See attached PDF.

There is also a space between the footnote number and the start of the
text of the footnote.

Also the English footnote number is indented while the Hebrew footnote
number is not.

Thanks for your help once more.

Jon

Hello in English\footnote{This is an english footnote} including an
English footnote.

Let's try some Hebrew with a Hebrew footnote.

\begin{Hebrew}
תוכנת\footnote{\ezra
עולות אלפי שקלים, וכן קשה מ
}
\end{Hebrew}

We are now back in English mode and an english footnote\footnote{footnote 2}.

Let's try some more Hebrew with a second Hebrew footnote.

\begin{Hebrew}
תוכנת\hfootnote{
עולות אלפי שקלים, וכן קשה מ 2
}
\end{Hebrew}


\end{document}
