I know, I know. :)

I never thought scaling would be of an advantage? Does it do some 
interpolation? (I read the info pages, but didn't find much.)

It would be good to have a short write-up on what to do to increase the 
accuracy. I have tried some other options, but rather on the 'blind' 
side of 'just playing'. Different character sets have not resulted in 
any improvement, e.g.
Any good reason, why you tried scaling at a factor of 2?

And still another one: is there a chance to scale with different factors 
for x and y? I am asking, since we are doing OCR on faxes, and 'normal' 
at faxes means 204x98 dpi.

Thanks again,
