[XeTeX] Customizing footnote markers

[John Was]

I'm sure '10in' is a mistake - rather 10pt?

And try replacing

\hbox to \parindentFFN {}

with

\hbox to \parindentFFN{\hfill}

(no space after FFN).

I would also replace

\@thefnmark.~#1

with

\@thefnmark.\kern 0.5em #1


Otherwise the ~ will give a variable space after each footnote-cue, whereas 
it will look much better if there is a consistent space between each cue and 
the text of the footnote (it doesn't have to be 0.5em:  you could say 5pt, 
or whatever you think will look best).

But I don't speak LaTeX either, and you may be doing something else wrong!
