Guess what, normal metafiles (usually kept as cache by OLE) are drawn incorrectly when using SetWorldTransform (after SetGraphicsMode(GM_ADVANCED) ) – they are drawn exactly 38 times smaller and also offset.

In any case, instead of computing the actual scaling and positioning parameters, a much better solution is to convert to an enhanced metafile (GetMetaFileBitsEx + SetWinMetaFileBits) and replace the COleClientItem cache with it.
