Wvware's libwmf support is fairly primitive right now. Freetype is
probably not very appropriate for a mini-Linux.

The first time I looked at the wvWare site, I mistakenly thought
that it is used to put bitmap graphics in Word documents.

But since tiffs are so rare, it is not as much of a bother to switch
libraries temporarily, is it?

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib/" tifftopnm

^ looks in /usr/local/lib/ for libraries. You can export it, but then
