@simonbyrne Do you have experiences to move libraries to binaryprovider?

This is understood, i just wondered why nobody created testing for WinPRM?

Actually both can be done as one-liners: ``` cm = linspace(Color.HSV(0,1,1),Color.HSV(330,1,1),64) ``` for HSV, just a linspace in H (0...330).  ``` cm = RGB{Float64}[ RGB( clamp(min(4x - 1.5, -4x...

Could you provide more info on the "in the default case that the image needs to be transposed"? And where this is/should be done? This might be a case, where...

No. It's (roughly) about how GC tracks if memory is still in use and Cairo.jl today uses some ideas about pointer management that (according to yuyichao) should have never worked...

Glyph boxes are usually a sign of not defined. Have you ensured, that this font is actually opened and does display any glyph?

"and less prone to errors" - which errors?
