Which program made that EMF? It opens OK in PowerPoint and XP preview but crashes old versions of Inkscape and looks terrible even in my development EMF version. The text shows up way outside the page (up and to the right) and looks like:

Ah, I see why the "'" is missing, that's a bug I can reproduce and fix. Not sure yet where the funky spacing is coming from.
I created this EMF in Illustrator, using the Arial->Narrow variant. Does the EMF list it any differently?
lfFaceName:Arial Narrow lFWeight:FW_BOLD
...and wait. I've just discovered that the font that's reporting itself (in XP) to be Arial->Narrow is in fact really Arial Narrow->Gras (Bold). So my earlier hints might be a waste of time :(
Right, it was bold.
The "Arial Narrow" on my system, on the other hand, shows up in the EMF as
lfFaceName:Arial Narrow lFWeight:FW_NORMAL
Are you sure that the narrow was not in the "bold" state in whichever program you used to make the EMF? (I used PowerPoint 2003.)
