Smaller bullet points

Smaller bullet points

[Kate F]

Hi,

I'm defining a slightly smaller bullet point symbol:

 \definesymbol[smallbullet][\small\bullet]
 \setupitemize[1][smallbullet]

This aligns the smaller bullet point to the baseline of text, which is
too low. I'd like to have it vertically centered, such that it aligns
in the middle of where the regular-sized \bullet would be. I tried
using \inframed[height=\lineheight], but I couldn't find a way to make
that end up in the right place.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks,

Thanks! Where does the .1ex come from? Is that value derived from some
measurement, or does it just look about right?
