Post a URL to one of the problematic WMF files so we can reproduce the problem and suggest a solution.

Just be warned that WMF image format is a vector image format, so -density settings may be needed to control the mapping to a raster format. EG to you map directly to the right size, or mapp it to larger size and resize.

Ken

It is probably just the fact that your screen resolution is about 96 dpi.

You might get even better results with

-density 192 -resize 50%

or

-density 384 -resize 25%

which could reduce the jaggies.
