I looked around and didn't see any similar issues logged.

Check out the screenshot below to show the difference in size between bullet: U+2022 and white bullet: U+25E6.

You'll notice that the sizes are similar with Apple's San Francisco font, but are quite different with Roboto. Is this intentional?

Confirming the bug. According to Unicode, U+2022 and U+25E6 should be the same size. See UTR #25, the table at the top of page 21.

Thanks for the quick response @roozbehp. I'm a designer, so forgive my ignorance, but when this is eventually patched, how do we pull in those changes? Is it just an update to the Android Support Library?

roozbehp commented 7 years ago

There will be updates to the font available on github I assume, as well as updates in Android platform itself. I don't believe there is a copy of Roboto in the Android support library.
