Hi,
I need to reduce space between footnotes.

Please see image below:

"Space Between Footnotes" in "Document Footnotes Option" is already set to 0.
Footnotes paragraph style has no spacing before or after, I tried changing it's leading.
No joy.

I tried changing footnotes charactert style leading.
No joy.

I use nested character style for drop caps in footnotes.

Nothing worked for me.

Don't use character styles for paragraphs. Changing the size of that 'gap' – it actually is just a regular paragraph leading – works for me if I change Leading in my paragraph style for footnotes.

Of course it ~~cannot~~ should not be made smaller than the leading between two regular footnote lines, as when a much longer footnote text occurs than you have here. But somehow I get the impression that you are seeing a "gap" where there is none, as the space you indicate is largely part of the font design.

Just look what happens when you make the leading too small: descending characters are going to clash with ascending ones on the line below:

Hi,
I think that paragraph leading is not the issue here.
Footnotes leading is smaller than space between footnotes.
Any further idea on how to reduce it?
