Description papashou 2010-10-12 12:22:22 UTC 
You can try this on any Windows Install -- most fonts do not properly support bullets beyond the first level.  Instead you get a character that looks like chinese characters inside a square (mahjong tile).

I'm running on Windows 7 Home Premium x64 primarily.  I have seen this on Windows XP 32bit and Windows7 32bit as well.  

Certain fonts support 2nd and 3rd level indentation on bulleted lists perfectly -- namely SegoeUI and Deja Vu Sans / Deja Vu Sans Serif.

Can we get this fixed to support all fonts uniformely like it does on Linux (It does not still work if I were to pull a font from Ubuntu and install them on Windows -- case in point is the Ubuntu font which has multiple level indentation on bullets perfectly on Ubuntu but does not work properly on Windows).
