Mockup of extending bullets formatting toolbar with 4 additional default bullet
types (.png image)

Currently, the default set of bullet types for lists in LibreOffice Writer (and
Impress) is quite limited and the default set does not meet typographic
standards. Currently, the bullets formatting toolbar shows 8 default bullet
types (2 rows x 4 bullet types).

This is an enhancement request to add one more row for 4 more default bullet
types to the bullet formatting toolbar. I added a mockup .png to this bug
entry, how the enhancement could look like. 

Specifically, please add following default bullet types:

– (U+2013) "Halbgeviertstrich" (in English: en dash / en rule)
‐ (U+2010) "Divis" (in English: hyphen)
► (U+25BA)
→ (U+2192)

Please note that the first dash (U+2013) in above list is a typographic
standard (e.g. in Germany) and - in fact - very frequently used. 

I assume that this enhancement is an easy hack and low-hanging fruit, which
IMHO would benefit many users.

P.S. Please also see the second attachment (.odt) how the suggested bullet
types look in LibreOffice Writer (they look better than in above list due to
the font used here in Bugzilla)
