Inkscape does not pick up from the font name alone that "Arial Narrow" is a condensed font.
Is the font in question "Arial Narrow"->"Regular" or "Arial"->"Narrow"?
Hmm, well, double clicking on it in Windows it says:
Arial Narrow OpenType Font, Digitally Signed, TrueType Outlines Typeface name: Arial Narrow File size: 170 KB Version: Version 2.37 (C) 2006 The Monotype Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
fc-list -v shows
weight: 80(i)(s) width: 75(i)(s)
whereas regular Arial is:
weight: 80(i)(s) width: 100(i)(s)
I've seen both variations in the wild - the former won't be picked up as a condensed font in any software I know of, while the latter may or may not (IMHO that should have named it "Arial->Condensed" instead).
The only font description in an EMF file is the name, so if "Arial Narrow" can mean two different things, there would be no way to determine which was intended.
