If I understand your problem correctly, you need to define character styles for all bullet symbols, then apply them in the autonumber part of the Paragraph Designer. So in this case you need a character style for Ding Zapfbats, or whatever it's called, then you just cite that in the Character Format field of the autonumber definition of your level three heading style.

AFAIR, FrameMaker uses the base font of the paragraph style for autonumbers unless told to do differently.

Or am I missing something?
