IIRC, OpenOffice Draw can import/open WMF files quite well, and it can save EPS good enough to use them in Scribus, so that sounds like a nice way to me... I think I converted my logos to EPS that way actually (after I had exported WMF from CorelDRAW! a long time ago, when I was still working on Windoze)... Robert Kaiser
