Created attachment 106316 [details] Test case (test.pptx) The MS Office 2007/Windows produced file should look like: B. That’s a test: * In test 1 * Second line However, with both LO 4.3.1.2/Windows and 4.0.4.2/CentOS6-x86-64-linux, a spurious mailbox symbol appears instead of a spacing between the bullet point and the item. I think the test case requires MS Wingdings; the bullet point is probably character 110 and the half-open mailbox is character 46 (ASCII: '$').

This value specifies that the characters in the Unicode private use area (U+FF00 to U+FFFF) of the font should be used to display characters in the range U+0000 to U+00FF." - The character "§" is Latin1's 0247, 167, A7 - which matches the small bullet point. - Additionally shown is ASCII's "." (056, 46, 2E), which is the open-mailbox symbol. As far as I know, Wingdings is an old-style TTF font with 256 characters and not an Unicode font. I wonder whether the charset="2" causes the trouble by trying to access 0x00A7 + 0xFF00 -> 0xFFA7 in a font which only has FF characters?
