This is simiklar to bug <A HREF=

I have found that the issue is the bullet is a from Symbol, and is
0xF0B7.  Merely inserting this into OO causes the failure in ghostscript.
Comment 5 caolanm 2002-07-29 09:40:41 UTC 
This might be a similiar problem to what was wrong with issue 3839.
Perhaps the postscript code needs to undo the promotion of the symbol
font to the private unicode area on export.
Comment 6 michael.ruess 2002-07-29 11:22:23 UTC 
I don`t think so. There was another issue (which was fixed by PL)
where OO produced wrong PS code with Bullets from MS documents. I'll
look up for the issue...

This one is a double to issue #3002 and #3145.

*** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 3002 ***

Should work since OpenOffice 1.0.1
