It would be yet one more renderer to write. WMF and EMF are effectively serialisations of the actual system calls used to render the picture. I get the impression that Escher is more of a proper vector graphics format. I don't know if that makes it easier or harder to implement a renderer. All these things appear in a PPT file though. I received a PPT file recently which had a mix of Escher drawing plus a big EMF file centred in it. It would unfortunately all need to be handled in order to render the whole thing, but I know people have already managed to do it. :-) EMF+ is another hurdle since they don't even document that one yet.
