Certain subsets of limit sets of geometrically finite Fuchsian groups with parabolic elements are considered. It is known that Jarník limit sets determine a "weak multifractal spectrum" of the Patterson measure in this situation. This paper will describe a natural generalisation of these sets, called strict Jarník limit sets, and show how these give rise to another weak multifractal spectrum. Number-theoretical interpretations of these results in terms of continued fractions will also be given.
Keywords: Fuchsian groups, Patterson measure., Hausdorff dimension.
