David, I just discovered what you mean by "the bullets and text don't align anyway" because I'm waiting to get a new battery installed in my car and working on my MacBook at the shop. On my Linux desktop where I usually edit wikis, they do line up! I guess there is some difference in the default system font. Some folks have reported similar inconsistencies between platforms with *Grok TiddlyWiki* (related to font weight, in that case), so perhaps I need to take a deep dive into this.
