Footnote misbehavior in Epub export

Question

Well, I have another mystery. When exporting my documents to Epub Reflowable, some of my footnote numbers in the endnotes aren't superscripted, and it looks very messy.

I noticed that the these footnotes numbers looked like Oldstyle for some reason, so I restyled the "Superscript" Character Style's OpenType Features as Proportional Lining and removed all the other OpenType options.

I've tried everything else I can think of but to no avail.

I've attached the Epub file, the InD file, and screenshots of one of the too-big footnotes plus the Character Style OpenType Features and Basic Character.

Thanks!

And:

@James Gifford—NitroPress - can you pitch in?

I saw where I had "over styled" and decided to replace the Footnotes with Endnotes, and styled the Endnotes as simply as possible to avoid what you pointed out. I ended up with the attached, which is not perfect (with a big black box around the Endnotes), but at least all the numbers are correct.

Again, thanks so much.

Maybe, because you've a "local" formatting - even when this is a CharStyle?

Green - formatting in the text - no CharStyle defined in the Footnote Options - but applied locally?

Red - Footnote ParaStyle defined as "Footnote" - but, in the Footnote's content - appliled "Footnote 3"?

And in both cases - CharStyle "Superscript" applied locally - blue?

And you also have Superscript in the DropCaps - in the definition of the ParaStyle?
