[Groff] Bulleted number - How to do???

[Rüdiger Härtel]

Hello,

I am in the need of bulleted numbers, ie. a filled circle with a number in it. 
Imortant to me is, that I can use such a bulleted numer every where in 
floating text. But it is not necessary to have it in a table for now.

Three possible solutions came to mind:
a) a font with special glyphs of this kind
b) pic
c) postscript

a) I only know of fonts that have the numbers 1..10. I need also highr 
numbers. So, this is not usable in my case.

b) Pic would work, but always places the figure in the middle. I couldn't 
workaround this 

c) Postscript would work, but I cannot figure out how to do the placement 
right.


Here is my approach with pic and postscript. Maybe someone knows a way how to 
do it.
