Description ping.he 2010-01-08 16:15:27 UTC 
When I indent bullet point, instead of showing a circle as in Linux, it shows scramble code. Apparently there are some encoding issues with the bullet points.

It happens to the second and the third level bullet point, as shown in the attachment.

I am running Tomboy on 32 bits Windows XP SP3.

Thanks.

I guess your font is missing the "ring operator" and "triangular bullet" characters.  I'll have to test this on Windows XP and see if I can reproduce.

You could try changing your font and see if that fixes it.

I tried to arbitrarily change a few fonts before, and none worked.

Since you told me these bullets are "ring operator" and "triangular bullet", I just googled the font support for these two bullets, and Ariel Unicode MS does the trick.

Thanks!

p.s. Probably making the default font support these two bullets is a good idea in the future.
