Vertically align smaller bullets with larger text

Question

I have a list with bullets. I made the bullets smaller by putting the li text inside a span and making the font-size of the li smaller than that of the span. The problem is that now the bullets are not vertically aligned in relation to the text. How do I fix that?

jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/tXzcA/

li {
  font-size: 15px;
}

li span {
  font-size: 25px;
}

<ul>
  <li><span>text1</span></li>
  <li><span>text2</span></li>
  <li><span>text3</span></li>
  <li><span>text4</span></li>
</ul>

Answer 1

You could just make your own bullet point and make it whatever size you want.

li{
  font-size: 15px;
  list-style-type:none;

}
li span{
  font-size: 25px;
}

ul li:before {
   content: "•";
   font-size: 80%;
   padding-right: 10px;
}

Just change around the font-size to the size you want.
