293337 - In lists, 'disc' symbols rendered as diamond in spite of <ul type="disc"> being used

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 204135

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[cv2pf6ip50]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3     [and all previous versions]

In the page at http://truecrypt.org/history.php, there is a list (but it 
applies to other pages as well). The list uses <ul type="disc">. 

Official W3C specification say:
''User agents should attempt to present a "disc" as a small filled-in circle, 
a "circle" as a small circle outline, and a "square" as a small square 
outline.''

However, Firefox 1.0.3 and all previous versions display diamonds instead of 
filled-in circles.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just compare the page in IE and Firefox.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Present a "disc" in lists as a small filled-in circle (not as a diamond).

I can't find anything else to dupe this to.  It happens here.  Changing URL to
W3 spec page since reporter has already posted URL of example page in his report.

After making this testcase, I realize that you see discs which look like
diamonds.  Perhaps we need to replace our discs with better discs?
