        Isn't WMF fun ;).  Try EMF sometime!

        Are you working from libwmf as your parser or something else?

	How are you getting the font sizes from the WMF?  Are you 
taking the viewport and window extents into accoutn when computing 
the sizes?  Are you doing any rounding of floats?

	I ask all these questions because ImageMagick 
(http://www.imagemagick.org) uses FT2 and libwmf to render WMF files 
w/o any problems - so I suspect that the problem is in your WMF 
handling.
