Yes, I realize that I said it like some needy child and I apologize for that.

It's no hurry for me, I already have the patches in my version. ;)

Also, the patches should be fairly straightforward. Most of the code
to support both images and fonts where already there. Just a couple of
bugs / missing parts that hindered them from working properly.

Actually, I think you should hurry and get a new release out and NOT
call it a 'technology preview'. I spent many days trying to figure out
how to generate PDF files in Ruby looking at interfaces to commercial
libs that left waterstamps on the pages, interfaces to libs that
refused to compile and interfaces that hadn't been updated since Ruby
0.1. Yours was the last I looked at just because you announced it as
'broken from start', instead it contained support for /everything/ I
needed and worked just perfectly. ;)
