For libwmf support would be great and apparently there is also a libemf floating around somewhere (oh, here it is http://libemf.sourceforge.net/ ) I am going to add a note about EMF to the bug i already file about WMF. As for reverse engineering VSD, Ian you have my utmost respect, you are a braver man than I. If you haven't already you should say hello to Caolan McNamara, who reverse engineered the Microsoft Word format and now works on OpenOffice.org for Sun Microsystems.
