Sample LaTeX file for triggering the bug

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

Okular displays bullets in itemization lists in some PDFs as letters.  Other PDF viewers, such as the Adobe Reader, display the bullets correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Produce a PDF from the attached LaTeX file powerdot.tex as follows:
$ latex powerdot
$ latex powerdot
$ dvips powerdot
$ ps2pdf powerdot.ps
2. Open powerdot.pdf in Okular.

Actual Results:  
3. Okular renders the bullets as letters.  See attached screenshot.

Expected Results:  
3. Okular should have rendered the bullets as bullets.  (Open powerdot.pdf in Adobe Reader for an example.)

Not a bug, your system probably does not a have a correct font substitution for ZapfDingbats, it should be d050000l.pfb (you can check you are getting something different in File->Properties->Fonts). Read the internet to learn how to configure fontconfig to do the proper substitution.
