I should add that Tyree's idea is what I was looking for originally (changing the face to the text font at least fixed readability). Ideally, instead of jumping to the footnote section, it would be collapsible / expandable, much like headings. Right now having a dedicated footnote section is better than having the footnote embedded in the body of the text as a giant distracting parenthesis. That is the worst functionality among the options here.
