Just for the record, I got an ugly layout with 1.16 and 1.17 because I specified a Unicode font in IsaViz that DOT somehow fails to retrieve on this machine (don't know why yet). Switching to a more standard font (e.g. Arial) fixed the problem (I guess the behaviour of the graph layout/text width algorithm changed somewhere between 1.12 and 1.16 and is now more sensitive to the selected font, thus doing weird things when the requested font cannot be found).
