Editing bullet characters
If you don’t want to use one of the existing bullet characters, you can add other bullet characters to the Bullet
Character grid. A bullet character that is available in one font may not be available in another font. You can choose
whether or not the font is remembered with any bullet character you add.
If you want to use a bullet found in a specific font (such as the pointing hand from Dingbats), be sure to set the bullet
to remember that font. If you are using a basic bullet character, it is probably best not to remember the font, since
most fonts have their own version of that bullet character. Depending on whether you select the Remember Font with
Bullet option, a bullet you add can reference either a Unicode value and a specific font family and style or just a
Unicode value.
Note: Added bullets that have only the Unicode value applied (without a remembered font) will appear with a red “u”
indicator, as in the Glyphs palette.
