Right, I made the Custom localized without thinking that it would
involve non-ascii chars. I've fixed that in

Well, for textType, the profile spec mandates 7 bit ASCII, so we're
wrong to translate Custom. For the unicodeTextType we should probably
decode UTF-16 properly, although I've not seen a profile that uses
this type in the wild yet.

Note: if you've got a profile that breaks GCM in one way or another
(and it's freely redistributable, which excludes the ICC and Adobe
profiles..) then we should probably check it into GCM and wire it into
the self test code. If nothing else you can use gcm-dump-profile -v
thefilename.icc and send me the output.
