Original bullet list in ODT

I notice a strange reinterpretation of the list bullet from imported docx/rtf documents, they show up as a strange dingbat (or wingding, I am not sure) and not as a bullet like in the original MS tool. This might be connected to the codepage or the font codepage subset of the docx/rtf file, I am not sure.

I have attached 4 files:
- original.odt is a bulleted list with 3 items, the original.
- two files follow - saved versions of the original.odt in the RTF and DOCX format;
- the fourth one is the ODT as a saved result from opening the saved DOCX version in LP (the RTF version from previous step opens in LO as expected and does not contain misinterpreted bullets).

Just to let you know - my LO is in Slovenian, it has Slovenian language set as default language.

Probably this is a duplicate of bug 50284.
Can someone confirm, please?

Yes, IMHO this is the same issue as bug 50284, therefore I mark it as a duplicate of the latter.

Nevertheless, thank you very much for your bug report! I hope that the additional duplicate increases the weight of bug 50284, so that we will get a fix for it some day ;-)
