The font size is controlled by stylesheet.css. You need to view the document in either "split view" or "code view" so that you can edit the XHTML. Then you can apply a style to the footnote text and define the style in stylesheet.css to have the desired font size.

For example, one of my footnotes from "I Shall Wear Midnight" is defined as:

<p class="calibre17"><span class="calibre2"><a class="calibre3" id="filepos72679"></a> <a class="calibre16" href="#filepos28231">1</a> This was done blindfolded.</span></p>

In the stylesheet.css file I have the following style:

.calibre2 {
font-size: 0.83333em
}

Does this help? I'm not sure I've answered very clearly...
