Looks like it was deprecated in JuliaLang/julia#16603 (0.5.0-dev+4354) in favor of escape_string. Since this package requires 0.5 at a minimum, it should be safe to just replace print_escaped with escape_string.

My computer run Windows. I did the following:

In c:\Users\...\.julia\v0.6\Tk\src there is a source tkwidget.jl written in Julia. There do the follow replacements.

1. Replace print_escaped (depreciated) by escape_string.
2. Replace takebuf_string(b) (depreciated) by String(take!(b)) where b is any parameter.

After that Winston works like a charm.

Example:

using Winston
plot(rand(100))
