Does WPF support reading/writing WMF/EMF files natively?

Question

Can Windows Presentation Foundation read/write WMF/EMF files without having to use WinForms Interop or Win32.

If it does not, what is the reason?

Answer 1

A quick search on MSDN reveals a thread containing a post by Peggi Goodwin, a PM at Microsoft:

WPF does not support the EMF and WMF image formats. These formats are more susceptible to security vulnerabilities than other image formats, so we do not intend to support them.
