Bullet-items vertically misaligned if \moderncvstyle{casual} is used

Question

In moderncv 2015/07/28 v2.0.0, bullet-items are strangely misaligned vertically, but only if \moderncvstyle{casual} is used.

MWE:

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper]{moderncv}  
\moderncvstyle{casual}  
\firstname{John}  
\familyname{Doe}

\begin{document}  
\section{Section}  
\cventry{1900-2000}{Degree}{University}{something}{more}  
{  
\begin{itemize}  
\item Point 1  
\item Point 2  
\end{itemize}  
}  
\end{document}  

This results in

If the style is changed to classic, everything seems to be fine:

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper]{moderncv}  
\moderncvstyle{classic}  

\firstname{John}  
\familyname{Doe}  

\begin{document}  
\section{Section}  
\cventry{1900-2000}{Degree}{University}{something}{more}  
{  
\begin{itemize}  
\item Point 1  
\item Point 2  
\end{itemize}  
}  
\end{document}  

Is there some meaningful way to work around that issue?

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

with casual style the bullet is

................\U/fontawesometwo/m/n/6 +

and with classic it is

................\U/mvs/m/n/10.95 {

That is the circles come from fontawesome and marvosym respectively. The different height above the baseline is just the choice of the font designers.

You could raise the fa bullets by eg

\let\oldlbi\labelitemi
\renewcommand\labelitemi{\raisebox{.15em}{\oldlbi}}

in the document preamble.
