You might try saving as emf, that seems to work OK.

No setting that I'm aware of. How did you get your tau? I used the symbol
font. I did have trouble with the wmf format, but not emf; I am using V2003.

Which font do you have selected for that shape? The font used for
output to wmf files may not be the same as used for screen display,
hence if you have just used Roman characters and then used a Greek
font then the output to WMF may not work..
Choose a Unicode font if possible, Arial or Times Roman Unicode.

I have Times New Roman as the font. I used unicode and the Greek Letters from
that

I've just done a couple of tests and it appears that when saving as
..wmf then any unicode data gets ignored, however, if you use the .emf
format then it works, the Greek characters come out correctly.
Hopefully .emf is a viable alternative.

a bit sharper, but tau still shows as t

Looks like the problem is in the application in which the EMF file is
being used.
WMF and EMF image formats are unlike other formats like GIF/JPEG/PNG
in that they are, like Postscript, a description of how to create the
image rather than a bitmap.
