Comment 12 for bug 629153

I think the solution would be to have a libwmf version which does not depend on defoma files. However, as I saw on the page of libwmf (which is part of wvWare, see http://sourceforge.net/projects/wvware/), it has not been in development since 2005. I doubt that they would release a new version independent from defoma.

But the Debian developers may release such a version, then it should be picked by Ubuntu to be used later on. The bug referred in the description has some advances, one could contact them and the appropriate Ubuntu maintainer to see if they can come up with a solution.
