Autonumbering Puzzle for an Ordered List Numbering Scheme

Hi Alex, 

the main problem is to have a bullet big enough for a
number with two digits. 

I produced a test font, where the bullet is
very big and starts below the normal font line. 

Everything else works
fine. The bullet character tag gets around -42% for the distance which
will pull the following numbered paragraph on top. 

Of course, this
will only help until you reach the number 100. 

I will send you my
examples off-list. 

Best regards -

you are looking at is a glyph in "Bullet" Paragraph Tag (autonumber =
B:●t). "Bullet" is a run-in paragraph.

Number" (autonumber = N:t<n=1>t) or (N:t<n+>t). This is a non-run-in
paragraph.

designations between the run-in and the non-run-in paragraphs, but
nothing we've tried so far has worked. The best we've managed is to
produce a "10," but the "10" appears at the beginning of the list,
followed by numbers 1 through 9, and then numbers that increment in 10s,
as before; that is, "01," "11," "21," and so forth.
