Further to further, if you go a long way down this route, for example using a different point size for bullets than for the text to get fashionably large ones, you can end up with a baseline alignment issue (i.e. bullet looks lower than text).

Baseline shifts cannot be adjusted within FrameMaker, but they can be adjusted from MIF. Page 595 of Sarah O'Keefe's 'FrameMaker 7, The Complete Reference' describes how to do this: you need to create a MIF fragment that specifies a character format that includes an <FDY offsetvalue> token, where 'offsetvalue' is between -100 to +100.
