Yes, gdk-pixbuf supports WMF files so long as libwmf is installed. There
appeared to be a similar issue reported at bugs.debian.org/263911; I do
have libwmf installed, and it contains a loader... but it doesn't seem
to work. Running gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders shows the following:
"/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/io-wmf.so"
"wmf" 0 "gtk20" "Windows Metafile"
"image/x-wmf" ""
"wmf" "apm" ""
"\327\315\306\232" "" 100
"\001" "" 100
I've tried to open the attached WMF in gthumb, but I see nothing, not
even an error message. (The file opens properly in Gimp.) I don't know
of any other gdk-pixbuf applications, so I can't tell if this is a
problem with gThumb's use of the available loaders, gdk-pixbuf's
provision of said loaders, or libwmf's loader itself. I can say that it
should definitely work given my installation, so I'm marking this as
confirmed, though it may need to be applied to a different package.
** Changed in: gthumb (Ubuntu)
