      Some bullet points doesn't render properly.

      Workaround
      • Powerpoint macro do render single filled (•) or unfilled dot just fine. Please avoid using other bullet point for now.

      In some occasions, this issue can also be resolved by installing the Windings Fonts in Confluence server or by using the following system property and pointing it to a fonts repository having the Windings font.
