The history (and code pointers) on use of OpenSymbol as default font for bullet lists can be found in this series of OOo issues archived with the Apache OpenOffice project. https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=59997 https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=60263 https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=63395#c13 https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=88261 The OpenSymbol font has had problems with font metrics as can be seen in i59997, and of course on the LibreOffice side we've also made adjustments with some work still needed (e.g. tdf#103740). As noted in c13 of i63395 the 2022, 25e6, 25aa from OpenSymbol were hardcoded and remain default glyphs for bullet lists. They are unstyled, so will resize as the paragraph font is resized, but will not otherwise match the font metrics of the font of the paragraph. Commit to CVS for OpenOffice 2008/06/06 08:49:04 od 1.50.16.1: #i63395# new default bullet characters and new default bullet font https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=345d77aa3406c1630270e1459324ed5bf35fff11 But I believe most of the original issues (StarOffice -> OpenOffice, and ww8 import/export filter) are probably no longer valid reasons to not allow more general font fallback to handle the bullet replacement--but that would need to be investigated a bit more deeply. But if that is the case, we could rector the static assignment of OpenSymbol to bullet lists when paragraph font provides the glyphs and allow them to assert eliminating these valid spacing issues. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Minutes-of-the-Design-Hangout-2016-Dec-08-tp4202154p4202276.html Sent from the Design mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: design+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
