Re: No bullets in lists

I experienced this problem on Ubuntu 9.10 using packages from the
AbiWord-Stable PPA.  From what Martin said, it sounds like these
packages are missing a dependency.  Any idea what the font package
might be named?

I ended up reverting back to 2.6 to get the functionality I needed.
