I would suspect that the text would be more reasonable (size-wise) if the original had more words per line.
152x225 mm with about 12-16 words per line. And yes, if the text had had more words per line it would have looked better size wise.

3) allow the 1/6 flex to be calculated by some words per line estimate or user-input.
4) allow coloured backgrounds/text input images instead of just grayscale (pgm vs ppm/png/pbm). Accomodate images somehow, perhaps shrink them down.
5) avoid segmentation faults
6) fix the indentation algorithm. Right now the line that goes after the indented line will be indented as well.
EDIT: Ah, you've noticed that problem too
