I've changed the code <http://www.argyllcms.com/Argyll_dev_src.zip> a little more, and it seems to give better looking results on the two test cases: <http://digitalproof.info/argyll/virtualScanner/ppc.spd.test_765_1.ti3> <http://digitalproof.info/argyll/virtualScanner/ppctest765L.ti3> Without a wider range of text cases, it's hard to know whether this is a win overall or not though.
