[Scribus] Background of Chars

[Helge Hielscher]

Hello,

I have a text frame with gray background and an enumeration like this: 
"? first item ? second item ? third item ? fourth something"
The problem is that the numbers are hardly readable even in bold.
Therefore I would like to have the numbers (U+2776 et.seqq.) white.

All I could come up with is:
1. set the backround of the textframe to none
2. insert a new gray background polygon
3. draw white polygon circles and put them behind the numbers
4. adjust the position of the white cirles with every text change

Is there a more efficient way to achieve the same? Would this be worth a
RFE?

Regards and TIA,
Helge
