            Bug ID: 112019
           Summary: Character style font set in Bullets and Numbering not
                    respected for bullets
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.3.5.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: khanson679 at gmail.com

Description:
Most Bullets and Numbering types allow a character style to be chosen.
"Bullets" is the default for bullets, but the bug seems to apply to all
character styles.

Font set in said character style is respected for numbering (1 2 3, a b c,
etc.) , but not for bullets. Possibly the default OpenSymbol font is being
hard-coded somewhere.

This can be hard to tell for the stereotypical black bullet, but easier if you
chose a different symbol that varies more between fonts. For example, U+25E6
WHITE BULLET (◦) has a little bit of space before and after it in OpenSymbol,
which causes misalignment with U+2022 BULLET (•). I tried to switch to Noto
Sans, where the spacing is the same for both U+25E6 WHITE BULLET and U+2022
BULLET, but there was no change.

To make the lack of difference as overt as possible, pick a "shape" character
such as a smiley face, and use that character both in the contents of the list
and for the bullet, and choose the same font for both.

Attributes other than font, such as font size and color seem to be respected.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert a bulleted list using either the toolbar or a list style
2. Choose any character for the bullet, and enter the same character (Insert ->
Special Character) in the content of the list
3. Change the font of the default Bullets style, or choose a different
character style altogether, to match the font of the surrounding text.

Actual Results:  
The font of the bullets does not change.

Expected Results:
The font of the bullets should change.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No
