Could not load file or assembly 'System.Drawing.Common'

[nfriend]

I get this error when calling highlighter.Highlight("JavaScript", myString):

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 'Could not load file or assembly 'System.Drawing.Common, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51'. The system cannot find the file specified.'

I installed this library via Nuget.

I'm using .NET Core 2.1.302. Is this library compatible with .NET Core?

I was able to manually install System.Drawing.Common from Nuget, and this resolved the issue. Perhaps this library needs to update its Nuget dependencies so that System.Drawing.Common is included by default?

This library was originally created about 14 years ago, and the last version of the .NET framework that I tested it with was v4.0. I suspect it won't be difficult to support .NET Core out of the box, but I don't do any .NET development these days and I no longer actively maintain this library.

I would be happy to accept a PR that resolves the issue though!

This should have been resolved by merging #9. If not, please leave a reply here with any necessary details about versions, platforms, and whatnot.

Added PR #16. System.Drawing is only supported on Windows. This enables use with .NET on macOS / Linux systems.
