[Bug 144220] Re: No Rendering of WMFs

[Adam Buchbinder]

Still present in Intrepid. gThumb hangs, and eog just reports
"Unrecognized image file format". (I'm using the latter, because it
links to libgdk_pixbuf as well, and it prints an actual error message.)

As a workaround, you might consider using wmf2svg to convert them to a
format that the tools can understand (it's still a vector format). It's
in the libwmf-bin package. Go to a directory containing some WMFs and
execute the following shell command (everything following the first $):

$ mkdir svg; for i in *.wmf; do echo [$i]; wmf2svg --inline $i >
svg/${i%%.wmf}.svg; done

If the WMF extension is uppercase, do the following instead:

$ mkdir svg; for i in *.WMF; do echo [$i]; wmf2svg --inline $i >
svg/${i%%.WMF}.svg; done

Additionally, you can use the wmf2x program to view your WMFs. I know
this isn't ideal, but it *is* a workaround until someone can figure out
what's gone wrong here.
