Make your own font from within InDesign, and then use it for automatic bullets, numbering, or other uses!
This week’s free InDesignSecrets episode at lynda.com shows how you can use the free IndyFont script to create a custom font character. This is awesome because it means you can build your own custom bullets! Here’s the video:

You can get even more information, including reading a step-by-step on how to download and install the script in Colleen Wheeler’s excellent write up on the LDC blog.
Or, watch any of the many movies available in the InDesignSecrets title here.
(If you don’t have a subscription, and you want to see some of those “behind the paywall” movies, you can get a free trial subscription here.)
Note that IndyFont was created by Theunis de Jong and is available at IndiScripts.
