wmf problems

Hello, my problem is regarding wmf files in GIMP.

When running Gimp Version 2.1.13 on Windows XP * Some wmf files are rotated 180 degrees when loaded in GIMP * Some charaters are missing in images loaded by GIMP (swedish characters in this case)

In Gimp Version 2.3.12 the first problem is resolved but the second remains. Do I miss some resource or plugin to support the character set or is there any other solution to this problem? Preferably, I would like to use the stable version 2.1.13 but the later might be ok as well.

Regards

Magnus

That would be a problem in libwmf then. You better make sure that the libwmf developers get to know about it. It could also be a problem with the WMF file format not specifying the string encoding (or specifying it incorrectly). But again this is something that the libwmf developers can probably answer much better. The GIMP plug-in is just a small wrapper around this library, it doesn't really know anything about the file format internals. Of course it might turn out that we need to do something in the plug-in to fix this problem. If that is the case, I am sure the libwmf developers will take care of filing a bug report in our bug tracker.

... or Jernej, because I'm not sure if the currentl libwmf is shipped with GIMP yet.
