RC> What does a "profile" mean? Does it refer to an ICC profile? I was confused by that too, until I saw the second diagram in Tav's blog post http://tavmjong.free.fr/blog/?p=361 where a three dimensional shape is shown, edge on, and the meaning seems to be 'the shape as seen in profile'. Having different 'profiles' (in this geometric sense) drawn in red, and in blue, and being described in the text as 'color profiles' is rather confusing. Speaking of that diagram, the slope discontinuity on the blue curve looks worrying. -- Chris Lilley Technical Director, Interaction Domain W3C Graphics Activity Lead, Fonts Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG Member, CSS, WebFonts, SVG Working Groups
