I am having trouble with the Linux, but not the Windows, version of

Details: When I create an un-numbered list using the Windows version
the round bullets have a pleasingly small radius. On Linux, this
document style is displayed perfectly and if I add another bullet, it
shares the same style. But if I add text, high-light it and click
the "bullet button" OR if I have OOo auto-add another bullet (by
pressing enter) and then indent it by pressing TAB then I get these
large, ugly bullets.
I can correct the problem for individual paragraphs using the list
style but that's annoying when I have many series of lists... how do
I tell the Linux version to use the small bullets by default? What
style is attached to the "bullet button"? (list1?) I tried editing
the list styles and I may have succeeded in changing list1 but it
doesn't seem to cascade to list2 nor to carry over to new documents.
(As you can tell, I know almost nothing about OOo's styles.)
I use OOo 1.1.3 on Windows XP and Fedora's 1.1.3-11.5.0.fc3 on my FC3
Linux machine.
I think that it may be associated with the fonts available on each machine.
I have the same problem, so I always end up selecting the bulleted list,
right clicking, choosing bullets, and then manually choosing the larger
bullets. I should probably just make up my own bullet style and set it
there.
