      I’ll do my best to describe in words what I’m after, but for clarity there’s a link at the bottom of this message to view a screenshot.

      So… I have a Numbered List paragraph style that partakes of the Acumin typeface, and what I wish to do is have a Wingdings arrow glyph follow each number in the list. I copy/pasted one in the Number field as such: ^#?^t

      PLEASE NOTE: After having posted this, I am seeing a question mark has been substituted for what was the Wingdings arrow; just please take my word for it that it’s supposed to be the arrow.

      What shows up (instead of the arrow glyph) is one of those vertical rectangles with an X in the center, meaning Acumin doesn’t recognize the glyph as being part of its font family or something. Is there a way to “embed” a glyph of a different typeface from the one used for the actual numbered list paragraph style? Perhaps I’m overlooking something obvious. Even though the easy solution would be to convert the numbering to text and just manually paste in the arrows, I would much prefer to find a way of doing this while keeping the list fully editable (i.e. parametric).

      PLEASE NOTE: The screenshot I’ve provided depicts a kind of hybrid example of both problem and goal; in other words, I’ve added the arrow glyph manually to the screenshot just to give you a visual idea as to what I’m trying to accomplish.

      Access the screenshot from this link: https://ws.onehub.com/files/fviy98hq
