Aditya,
thanks for the information adding \setmathfont[modern] It fixed the
problem for the default bullet symbols. But, it did not fix the case where I'm
trying to use the $\diamond$ symbol as the bullet, and compile time errors
occur. I will attach the log file. Hopefully you can identify what is missing.
I apologize for my lack of knowledge about fonts details and handling at this
poing, but am learning. Here is the minimal exampple:

Sorry, but I can't typeset math unless various parameters have
been set. This is normally done by loading special math fonts
into the math family slots. Your font set is lacking at least
the parameter mentioned earlier.
