Wouter,
FWIW, I would like to add that I've actually changed the graphics page already (I haven't COMMITTED the changes so you won't see them on the site yet). Please read the changes below, and help me make certain it adequately addresses the issue. I'm posting the entire EPS section below (the main addition is the new <warning> item toward the bottom--does anything else need to be changed?):
<section id="eps">
<title>EPS</title>
<p>FOP provides support for two output targets:</p>
<ul>
<li>PostScript (full support).</li>
<li>
PDF (partial support). Due to the lack of a built-in PostScript interpreter, FOP
can only embed the EPS file into the PDF. Acrobat Reader will not currently display
the EPS (it doesn't have a PostScript interpreter, either) but it will be shown
correctly when you print the PDF on a PostScript-capable printer. PostScript devices
(including <link href="http://www.ghostscript.com/";>GhostScript</link>) will render the EPS correctly.
</li>
</ul>
<warning>When using <link href="http://www.ghostscript.com/";>GhostScript</link> to display inline EPS, it has been <link href="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108912901400002&r=1&w=2";>reported that more recent versions have problems rendering inline EPS</link>. Therefore it is recommended to use <link href="http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/gnu/gnu706.htm";>Ghostscript 7.06</link>. If anyone has a solution to this problem, please send an e-mail to the FOP-User <link href="http://xml.apache.org/fop/maillist.html";>mailing list</link>.</warning>
<p>
Other output targets can't be supported at the moment because
FOP lacks a PostScript interpreter.
</p>
</section>
I would also like to add, that my reason for asking Wouter to create a Bugzilla entry also deals with the fact that it would be nice to 'fix' the underlying problem (not just document it! :-D), and if we don't have a bugzilla report, it might not end up on our 'radar'...
Thanks in advance for reporting this and any help you can provide!

Maybe something to add on the site?

Would you please file a BUG in bugzilla[1] so this issue can be tracked? It would help if you could test using other versions of Ghostscript, and include that information in your report.
Thanks!
