The slideshow is rendered via metafiles with all the inherent problems.  Among
them are:

- Many types of information is not represented directly by metafile elements but
has to be encoded in comments.

- No direct access to character bounding boxes.

Using drawinglayer primitives instead has many advantages like

- Code reuse of edit view and presentation reduces display differences.

- More direct access to shape properties allows improvements of display quality
(Characters can be displayed by filling their outline paths.  This allows size
animations that are more smooth.)

- Some old hacks can be eliminated.  One example for this are the chart OLE
objects.  They provide a metafile whose resolution may or may not correspond to
the display of the presentation.  In order to improve the char display quality
these metafiles where re-created before displayed by the slideshow.
