-Help Wanted
------------
-
-I'd really like to get rid of the depenency on RMagick in this gem. RMagic is being used to calculate the column widths in a worksheet based on the content the user specified. If there happens to be anyone out there with the background and c skills to write an extenstion that can determine the width of a single character rendered with a specific font at a specific font size please give me a shout.
