Windows has no similar entry, and spelling full is not much informative, IMHO.

Following https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Metafile "Essentially, a WMF file stores a list of function calls that have to be issued to the Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) layer to display an image on screen." it's kind of screen-optimized image. Alternative perhaps "Windows vector format (GDI metafile)", but is that really better?
