Subject: Making alternate Bullets appear correctly in Windows

In order to make bullet styles the same on Both Windows and Linux
somebody needs to apply the following mappings to the the code. I assume
the font needs to be the same for all bullets, but if this is not the
case I have listed alternate symbols that are closer to what Linux
provides in appearance(using a separate font). Unfortunately there is no
heart in the Windings font(s). I listed a "pretty" symbol instead. This
was all done on Windows 2000. I have no idea if this is compatible with
other versions of windows.
