Description

While transforming a wmf file – which is exported from a MS ppt – squiggle
and Adobe isn't able to load and render is properly. The loading can be fixed
easy, because both readers do not accept the encoding Cp1252. After deleting
encoding="Cp1252" in the svg file Adobe and squiggle will show “something” but
broken:

• The text has strange positions
• No font information is kept
• No graphics are embedded or linked
• No transparency of elements

I placed the examples here:

I'm using WMFTranscoder form 1.6. I tried version batik-src-06-03-08.zip too,
but got a
