Text looks bad in PNG image generated from WMF

Hi Aspose Team,

We are using aspose-imaging-2.9.0-jdk16.jar to read WMF images from Word and save as PNG.

The following is the code block that does this WMF to PNG conversion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
String inputPath ="C:\\Viswa\\TestUtilityProject\\resources\\input\\image1.wmf";
String outputPath = "1.png";
WmfMetafileImage metafile = new WmfMetafileImage(inputPath);
metafile.save(outputPath, new PngOptions());
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But, vertically aligned text "Demand in CZK bn" in the generated png image looks bad and not properly aligned. The same text in the image looks good in Word.

I have attached the .docx file and the generated .png file.

Please note that I have tried with latest aspose-imaging-3.0.1-jdk16.jar and still encountering the same issue.

Please check and get back asap as this issue is very critical for our Business users.

Hi,

This is to update you that we have looked further into the issue. If you try Microsoft Paint and convert your WMF file to PNG the output file will be identical to the one generated by using Aspose.Imaging API. .NET Metafile class and MS Paint convert your WMF file to PNG format in the same way. So it is not a bug.

Hi Ikram,


Good day.

Yes, if we open that WMF with paint directly, text format looks bad.
But if we create a new word and drag this WMF into it, text format is good.

So seems paint has bug either, do you have any other idea.
Or if this is microsoft bug, can you please push them to solve.

Million thanks,
Stone

Hi Stone,

Thank you for your patience.

This is to update you that our product team needs some more sample file like the one provided by you (image1.wmf) to carry on the investigation process. It would be a help. Furthermore please forward us the information on how the sample file (image1.wmf) was created? Which tool had been used?
