Description vgivanovic 2006-07-20 18:21:55 UTC 
The desktop's application font is the default font for bullets in the Bullets
and Numbering dialog (Format->Bullets and Numbering... menu). This is incorrect. 

One possible default could be the default font for Bullets in the Styles and
Formatting:Character Styles window, but this is StarSymbol which does not exist
on my system. Even when the Bullets default font is changed in the Styles and
Formatting:Character Styles window, the default font for bullets in the Bullets
and Numbering dialog is still the GNOME application font.

I believe that the only reasonable choice for the default font for bullets
should be the font of the Default paragraph. (Of course, if the user changes the
font in Styles and Formatting:Character Styles and saves it in a template and
makes this template the default template, then that font should be the default
font for bullets.)

MRU->OD/OS/HDU: It looks that the Numbering/Bullets dialog does not correctly
make useof the font replacement. Or is the fon replacement wrong?
Normally, OpenSymbol is taken to replace StarSymbol in OpenOffice. When
activationg a bullet and then opening the Numbering dialog (options page) and
clicking the "character" button to open access the "special character" dialog, a
font different than OpenSymbol is used (on my SUSE 10.1 it's Albany AMT, on
Windows it's Tahoma).
Please have a look; from a QA's view I cannot see if this is problem is in the
dialog or the replacement. Thanks!
