## Known limitations

* No X11 support ([#18](https://github.com/r-hub/r-glibc/issues/18)).
* `bmp()`, `png()`, `tiff()`, `jpeg()` default to `type = "Xlib"` so they
don't work without an explicit `type = "cairo"` argument ([#15](
https://github.com/r-hub/r-glibc/issues/15)).
* No built-in libdeflate support ([#12](
https://github.com/r-hub/r-glibc/issues/12)).
* The built-in fontconfig library might not work with the system's
fonts ([#19](https://github.com/r-hub/r-glibc/issues/19)).
* The included system libraries are relatively old ([#20](
