ConnectCreative Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Any idea on how to make custom bullet points like these please? The simplest option would be a font with a hexagonal character - does anyone know of one please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 For your project, is there any significant advantage in your workflow to using a font versus using the Polygon tool and creating them manually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there, yes there is - I wanted to setup a Text Style that handled the bullets as I have A LOT of text to format. Using a font specifically for the shape means I can use it in my text style and change size / colour etc easily, updating all instances throughout the brochure. I'd previously used a polygon shape manually placed where I needed a bullet symbol for a leaflet that only had a few bullets in, but this version is MUCH easier to manage!
