	Five simple steps to better typography - Part 2 : Journal : Mark Boulton
		Bullet points are read differently to normal body text, you want that extra pause to swap into bullet-point-reading mode.
		The gulf between typesetting and typography these days is such that a lot of these simple rules are being forgotten, being replaced by ‘nuance and sensitivity’.
		I also think that the choice of bulleted lists to illustrate the point was maybe a little unwise, as it could be said that indenting them serves a purpose.

		Bullets are not limited in shape to a fl dot, as displayed above.

		Typography is mainly concerned with the style and size of typefaces.
		As a rule, bullet lists should be used when the exact order or sequence of the items (as in a grocery list, for example) is of no particular importance.
		The bullet symbols themselves should be appropriate to the overall document and page design: for example, the use of "smiley-face" bullets or other whimsical icons might be perfect for a children's textbook; but they might seem slightly out of place in a professional document.)

		Also, making the active bullet line a different color might be a good way to reinforce what you are saying.
		If each bullet appears manually, dependent on where you are in your speech, this can be a subtle but powerful means of reminding the audience what you are talking about.

	Dashes and hyphens
		The character hyphen bullet U+2043 is not listed among the dash characters, and there is no cross reference in the description of the hyphen bullet in the code chart.
		It seems that the hyphen bullet is really meant to be a bullet character that looks like a hyphen (of a kind), rather than comparable to hyphens and dashes.
		One might conclude from this that if the minus sign cannot be used but the en dash is available (e.g., when the character repertoire is limited to the so-called Windows character set), the en dash is a better surrogate for the minus sign than the hyphen-minus or the em dash.

		Although the basic rules of typography are much the same for both Web pages and conventional print documents, type on-screen and type printed on paper are different in crucial ways.
		Most magazine and book typography is rendered at 1200 dots per inch (dpi) or greater, whereas computer screens rarely show more than about 85 dpi.
		The process is fraught with possibilities for the unexpected: a missing font, an out-of-date browser, or a peculiar set of font preferences designated by the reader.

	Foreword: Question of the Month
		The odd thing is that most people where I work don’t hang their bullets, and I’m finding that the lists look kinda weird (maybe just because I’m not used to it).
		Not a fan of hanging bullets; I usually indent the same amount as the paragraph indents, then space the text an equal amount past that (flush or justified left from there, not wrapped around the bullet).
		I find that using either a smaller bullet or (gasp) a midpoint can reduce visual noise if there are tons of bullet points.

	Bulleted Lists - Fonts.com
		Bulleted lists are a great way to draw attention to a sequence of items, facts, or logical arguments.
		As for the horizontal position of the bulleted list, the cleanest and most attractive choice is to align the bullets with the left margin of the copy above the list.
		You’ll occasionally see a treatment where bullets are pulled into the margin, with the content of the list left-aligned to the copy above, but this style decreases emphasis (which is the whole point of the list to begin with!) and disturbs the integrity of the margin.

	Bullet Points, Dashes, M Dashes... AH! \| Typophile
		Well, the amount of bullet points you have will be a determining factor.
		If you only have a few (say less than 5 or so), I’d recommend a more ornate bullet point icon; such as a custom mark, something indigenous to your select typeface, or even transplanted from a seperate typeface (Gill Sans’s doesn’t have any ornate bullet points that I’m aware of).
		I’ve always set my bullet points a pt size smaller than the text size set with a.1378in tab, but that’s me. You can set it anyway you like, I don’t believe there’s a standard form, set in stone when it comes to setting bullet points.

		Both lozenge and diamond exist in typography - the lozenge is said to have become widespread in England with the printing of the Book of Common Prayer.
		The diamond shaped bullet is probably the shape of the pastille.
