Created attachment 39634 [details] example of such list Windings2 font used for list bullets in Office 2007 documents is incorrectly substituted, so bullets usually become some CJK symbols.
or even less suitable symbols with linux fonts.
is there some legal free substitute for windings2 ? I'm not there is, Tor, have you any idea?
Sorry, no idea, but I googled. This document http://www.alanwood.net/demos/wingdings-2.html seems to indicate that for most Wingdings 2 character there is no Unicode substitute. (That might have changed in the latest Unicode version, though, it now includes a lot more dingbat and logo type characters. But those new characters are hardly covered by many of the Free fonts out there anyway.) I found no Free equivalent fonts. (For what it's worth, in a build of Novell OOo 3.2.1 I have on Windows, the bullets look the same in Impress as in Excel 2007. But that is on a machine that also has MS Office 2007, so it presumably then actually uses the Wingdings 2 font. In a machine with LibreOffice 3.3 and no MS Office, just a rectangle is shown (presumably meaning "glyph missing".) Probably the sanest thing to do in LibreOffice would be to just show some generic bullet if the specific one the document asks for isn't available. I don't know why it chooses a CJK character for you, that surely is pointless and a bug, yes.

Yeah, the ideal solution is, someone... a) draws the additional glyphs in our OpenSymbol font (see extras/source/truetype/symbol/OpenSymbol.sfd) b) updates the mapping tables in unotools/source/misc/fontcvt.cxx to add the extra mapping entries from that codepoint and source font to opensymbol In the absence of a suitable replacement for the glyphs in your examples, you're right, we should fallback to something bullet-alike for the "pure" symbol-fonts.

I'll upload a screenshot how it's look right now in LO 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: 669c27ca0575e046b37db7ecc0a3d24ed2001a6) TinderBox: MacOSX-Intel@1-built_no-moz_on_10.6.8, Branch:master, Time: 2013-01-02_23:39:31 The bullets are a small square in a bigger square. I'm not sure this is the correct behavior?

Bullets on screenshot seems to be reasonable replacement for the original one.
