Try Publishing Partner for the Atari ST, from Softlogic Solutions(?).
It claims to be able to output a GEM metafile, although I have not yet
tried to use this feature.  This is a very powerful, relatively
inexpensive Desktop Publishing package (~$80).  It is worth the money.

I am not affiliated with Softlogic.
