I'm not sure whether what Sam is envisioning would necessarily fix the issue with the transposed text since the image would still be written out with write_bitmap.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Nathan</div><br><div><div>On Sep 28, 2012, at 12:30 PM, Sam Skillman wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>So one of the main reasons why this is so messy, IMO, is that we don't have a self-describing image.

We got an anonymous bug today. My guess is this is related to the<br>
transpose in write_image.<br>
