Bullet list lose formatting with body font change

If I attempt to change the "Content Formatting" in PDF Exporter to define a new style for the default body font for the PDF template; in the exported file, all bullet lists lose their bullets and in some cases the bullets become very large. (see attachment)

I uploaded the Cambria font in "Resources" and used this to format the body style:

    body {
    font-family: "Cambria" cambria;
    }

Can anyone help me and let me know if there is a way to fix this?

  Hi Andrew,

  I've tried to reproduce this (using the Cambria font provided by Windows):

  Did you upload it via the "Resources" tab or via the "Fonts" tab? (You should use the "Font" tab).

  Let me know, if that works.

  Cheers,
  -Stefan

  Hi Stefan,

  Thanks for the prompt reply. I did upload via the "Fonts' tab. However - I'm using a Mac - not Windows - not sure if this has any bearing. I'll include my content formatting here which might help in diagnosing the problem.

  /* Enable heading numbering */
  @import url('css/common-heading-numbering.css') print;
  
  /* Enable toc numbering */
  @import url('css/common-toc-numbering.css') print;
  
  /* Generate border between header/footer and page content */
  @page {
    border-top: 4px solid yellow;
    border-bottom: 4px solid yellow;
  }
  
  /* nested list definition*/
  
  /* Level 1: decimal numbers */
  .content ol {
     list-style-type: decimal;
  }
  /* Level 2: lowercase letters */
  .content ol ol {
     list-style-type: lower-alpha;
  }
  /* Level 3: lowercase roman numbers */
  .content ol ol ol {
     list-style-type: lower-roman;
  }
  
  /* Use Cambria font for the complete document */
  body {
  font-family: "Cambria" cambria;
  }
  
  strong {
  font-family: "Cambria Bold" cambria bold;
      font-weight: bold;
  }
  
  
  /* Use Calibri font for just for h1 */
  h1 {
  font-family: "Calibri" Calibri;
  font-weight: bold;
  }
  
  /* Export on title page */
  div.titlepage {
    position: relative;
    min-height: 220mm;
  }
  div.titlepage .static {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
  }
  
  .titlepage .exportinfo {
    padding: 2mm 5mm;
    background-color: #eeeeee;
  }
  
  .titlepage .exportinfo strong {
    width: 20mm;
    display: block;
    float: left;
  }

  Hi - As you pointed me in the direction of fonts - I thought I'd try and use another body font - "Times New Roman". Which I did and this resolved the issue. Therefore it must be something to do specifically with the Cambria font. I'll just substitute this with a similar font.

  If you manage to find the issue with the Apple Cambria font - let me know - however I'll be fine with a substitution for now.

  Thanks for your help - your pointers got me in the right direction for resolving this issue.

  Cheers,

  Andrew

  Hi Andrew,

  glad you figured it out. Btw: Yes, I have been using the font files shipped with Windows.

  Cheers,
