[Chameleon] What does chameleon do?

[pxniw pxniw]

Installed new fonts, and that took care of the
problem. (Thx Julien for suggestion)

Phew...

Thanks all for your help.

Now trying to figure out a way to include all labels.
(As of right now, it will only list first
Restaurant_Name in the table)

Sometimes I might have 10 other times 50 listed.
Any suggestions for this?
Thanks
