Available list presets

LibreOffice Writer offers a tool to quickly format lists. However, the available options could be better. See attached image with the currently available options.

So we have a large and a small bullet, which are useful. Then we have 6 more "exotic" options... but we do not have any option with a "-" dash, which is a very common choice.

I suggest we replace one of the available presets for one that includes a dash ("em" and/or "en" dash) as the list marker.

Since this looks to be an enhancement request, I added needsUXEval to the Keyword and included libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org in the CC List.

Which one should be removed in favor of the dash?

And what dash do you think is a default (and available with most fonts)?
U+002D - Hyphen-Minus
U+2010 ‐ Hyphen
U+2011 ‑ Non-Breaking Hyphen
U+2012 ‒ Figure Dash
U+2013 – En Dash
U+2014 — Em Dash
(quick and random search for unicode+dash)

Ultimately the request has been raised in bug 108697 and I suggest to make this one a duplicate.
