Have you tried pstoedit? On Windows, it can convert to EMF.

As far as I can tell, pyemf currently does not contain all the features needed
for a fully-functioning matplotlib backend. In particular, bitmap support (to
include images in the EMF) and text metrics are missing. So you won't be able
to calculate the correct position of text. You'll probably end up with a
backend that is less than satisfactory. You may be better off using the
postscript or SVG backend, apply a (PS,SVG)-to-EMF converter, and if that
doesn't work perfectly, fix the converter rather than matplotlib's EMF backend.
