The state chart has the FAF at 6.5DME FJR and 6.2DME FG.

The minimum segment altitude is 580ft from the FAF all the way in to FG. The 600 (594) at FG looks to me like the actual 3° profile altitude (note a similar depiction at the OM). The italics are confusing...the limiting altitudes should not be italicised.

Jepp needs to re-think it's chart, methinks!
