Fwd: No bullets in lists

FYI. I've never liked this special-casing in our graphics class, and
it seems to be causing problems for some users.

Thanks a lot, but I'm not using Synaptic.

I solved it by patching src/af/gr/xp/gr_CairoGraphics.cpp:

 @@ -2688,10 +2688,10 @@
  //  and acutally cause problem on Mac with Cairo as it never finds the
  //  font "Standards Symbols L" -- hub
  //
 -//     if(pszFontFamily && !strcmp(pszFontFamily, "Symbol"))
 -//     {
 -//             pszFontFamily = "Standard Symbols L";
 -//     }
 +       if(pszFontFamily && !strcmp(pszFontFamily, "Symbol"))
 +       {
 +               pszFontFamily = "Standard Symbols L";
 +       }

         if(pszFontStyle && *pszFontStyle == 'n')
                 pStyle = "";

I don't know who hub is, but he seems responsible for the bug.
