[Magick-bugs] convert from wmf truncates the last character

Hi there,

I am using ImageMagick to  convert wmf images containing math
expressions to png/jpeg/pdf. I recently updated from 6.3.7 to 6.4.5-5
and I noticed that converting a wmf image containing any sequence of
characters truncates systematically the last character in the image.

Using wmf2eps by hand produces a correct eps with no truncation, which
can further be successfully converted to whatever format I need. But
using convert directly truncates the image as described above.

I include herein an original sample image (foobar.wmf), a truncated
outcome produced directly with convert (new_foobar.png), and an
accurate image produced via wmf2eps (foobar_correct.png).

I did not encounter this problem previously with 6.3.7, although I had
problems with some wmf images which prompted the update.

OS: Linux 2.6.9 SMP (Ubuntu Hardy)
libwmf: 0.2.8.4
ImageMagick: 6.4.5
ghostscript: 8.6.3

Thanks,

Florin Bocaneala
