I think these alternate bullet characters were turned off because FOP does
not support any of them. I ran some tests on the various FO processors, and
this table summarizes what I found for likely bullet characters:
Description Unicode FOP XEP Antenna House
---------------- -------- ---- ---- -------------
Bullet 2022 yes yes yes
Ring operator 2218 no no no
Black square 25A0 no yes yes
White square 25A1 no no yes
White circle 25CB no no yes
Black circle 25CF no yes yes
White bullet 25E6 no no yes
Large circle 25EF no no no
Ballot box 2610 no no no
Ideographic zero 3007 no no yes
If full Unicode fonts were in wide use, then these characters would likely
be better supported.

hi,
it seems like this isnt implemented in docbook.xsl yet.
snippet from xsl/fo/lists.xsl:
##########
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$itemsymbol='disc'">•</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$itemsymbol='bullet'">•</xsl:when>
<!-- why do these symbols not work? -->
<!--
<xsl:when test="$itemsymbol='circle'">∘</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$itemsymbol='round'">∘</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$itemsymbol='square'">☐</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$itemsymbol='box'">☐</xsl:when>
-->
<xsl:otherwise>•</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
###########
does anybody know how to fix this?
thx+cu
Sebastian
