You should be able to do the same with the enumitem package:
\usepackage{enumitem}

If the OP just wants it for selected item entries, then one may simply
do something like:

\usepackage{pifont}
\newcommand{\solitem}{\item[\stepcounter{enumi}\ding{220}\kern2pt
\theenumi]}

Then one can intersperse \solitem with the other \item entries.

This is *close* to what I want, however:

1. The period immediately following the numbered item is gone.
2. The alignment of the numbers seems to be off on the \solitem
usages, i.e. the period following each number are no longer aligned
horizontally.

Suggestions?

TIA,
John

Sorry. I didn't check. The following works:

\usepackage{pifont}
\renewcommand{\theenumi}{\arabic{enumi}.}
\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{\theenumi}
\newcommand{\solitem}{\item[\stepcounter{enumi}\ding{220}\kern2pt
\theenumi]}

Gual
