Editing SignText documents

[Steve Slevinski]

Hi KJ,

When a SignText document loads, it positions the symbols in the sentence 
based on their size.  However, then it first loads, it does not have the 
size of the symbols and assumes a 0 height and width.  The causes 
squashed symbols.

Once the page has fully loaded, pressing Reload in the browser will fix 
this problem because the browser now knows the size of all the symbols.

This is a problem that I'm going to fix or will go away when the new 
version of SignText is ready.
