I guess that leaves PNG! However, I will maintain that WMF may be adequate for what you're doing. I've been using that format for a long time with few issues. I suppose it may depend on how well the source application handles the conversion AND how well it works with the DTP application. I have seen disastrous results! That was when MS made an update to Visio. Fortunately, they made a patch and life was back to normal. Other than that little blip, I've seen WMF work flawlessy for hundreds and hundreds, maybe thousands, of graphics.

SVG seems okay, it's an XML format that can embed fonts. However, SVG is not common, Adobe just dropped its SVG viewer, so the ability to share files of this format is a concern. (FM will finally import these.) WMF and EMF are problematic. For example, WMF converts some curves to a series of short vectors, and neither embeds fonts, they only refer to the font I believe by its Windows name.
