I created a logo where I have a text outline filled with a gradient. Looks great. Unfortunately, when I convert it to EPS, the gradient fill is lost. The text outline shows up as empty in both Microsoft Word and Photoshop. Is this a limitation of EPS itself or of Inkscape's EPS convertor? (I'm sure I've seen gradients in PostScript documents, so I suspect the latter.)
It's a limit of Postscript/EPS, or at least, a limit of the version we're using. It may have been added in later versions of Postscript.
Some fonts simply don't work in Inkscape. For example, "Modern No. 20" is rendered as Arial. It's a TrueType font and otherwise unexceptionable.
Report this as a bug, including a pointer to where the font can be obtained. Font support for Inkscape has improved but is still not 100% perfect
