Sign Puddle on Mobile Phones

[Bill Reese]

Steve,
On the Image Server, the first images are in 3.Glyphs.attributes.  I'm 
comparing to what I see in Firefox on my Windows XP computer.
The blue-gray background for all signs appears (although as a broad 
stripe under the words - there's no lines for the tables).  
The Basic Example doesn't show,
in Colorize there's a dark pink box,
in Line Color the sign appears in green, so that works. 
In Fill Color there is nothing,
in Size and Multiple, there's a very faint small outline box.

In the next set 4.Glyphogram.Build_String:
Character Code 13034, nothing
13025 appears in its entirety
24256, nothing
46720, appears in its entirety

In 4.Glyphogram.Attributes
Basic Example appears in it's entirety
Colorize appears in it's entirety
Size, nothing
Line Color, nothing
Fill Color, just the basic sign, no fill color
Mulitple, some faint red that's not discernible as a sign

In 5.Image.Build_String
.7 size appears very faint, reddish grey
1.3 size appears in it's entirety, although not as smooth as on my 
Windows XP computer

In 5.Image.Attributes
Basic Example, only the green sign appears
Fill, the background appears as a dark pink, the signs appear in white, 
the fill is correct as blue and there's a lot of white speckles in the 
areas where the signs are.
in Back, everything shows as it should, red and green signs appear and 
the blue background is there and the signs are as smooth as on the 
Windows XP machine.

In Images
Both the Single and Multiple Sign examples show correctly.

Hope that helps.
Bill
