Greetings, I am trying to display WMF and EMF images within IE8. The picture is rendered, but sadly all of the white parts in the picture becomes transparent. I am not talking about the background, and I do not want a non-alpha image. I specifically colored a few fields of my images white, but they are incorrectly rendered in IE8. When viewing them in other applications, they are rendered correctly.

Does anyone know anything about why WMF and EMF images behave this way? I have tried to research the topic, but there seems to be very little information to find about this.

Below you will find examples of the problem, make sure to view them in IE8, or the problem will not be shown (other browsers won't even display the image, since it's Microsoft's format).

To show you what I mean, I created this picture: http://www14.speedyshare.com/files/24580626/download/color%20test.wmf

It is of course not obvious at first that the image above is actually transparent, so here it is on a gray background: www11.speedyshare.com/files/24580657/download/index.html

What I want is for the circles to look like the first picture, even on a gray background. The first circle should be filled with white and the second one should have a white border.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and please don't hesitate to ask questions if something is unclear. Thank you!
