Thanks for checking on this. I think I understand what you mean by calling this
an enhancement, since the design of the relevant UI components has to be
changed. From a user perspective, though, this truly is a bug, because a
feature (applying a character style) does not work as expected.

Anyway, I suppose something as simple as a checkbox for whether or not to use
the selected font, would solve the problem. Ideally, you would want to be able
to select the font with a dropdown (including None/inherit) just like the
character style. It might take some thought in order to reconcile that with the
behavior of the current and upcoming insert character dialogs. (UX issue for
v6.1??)

Actually, such a feature would be desirable even if the user does not use a
character style. Then the bullet will simply inherit the font of the
surrounding text, right?

Suppose you have a document that use multiple body text fonts, and want
bulleted in different places to use the surrounding body font. Perhaps with
ordinary fonts and plain black bullets it might not matter much, but with more
distinctive fonts and custom bullet symbols, this would be the only sane way to
get every list right! Using list and character styles would require duplication
of information for every possible environment, and manual formatting would be a
nightmare if you were to change anything.
