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.
This is fixed in CVS some time ago, though the fix is not 100% (in particular gradient only works on fill, not stroke, and does not work on text until you convert it to path).
(Bryce, please forward this to the list, because it looks like I can't post, again.)
