I have been looking at the problem of figures saved as EPS images not printing correctly under from MS Word (an invalidrestore error is generated). I believe that matplotlib is incorrectly creating the EPS file. According to the DSC Spec (http://partners.adobe.com/ public/developer/en/ps/5001.DSC_Spec.pdf), the Prolog section should only contain procset definitions (which should also be enclosed in %% BeginResource / %%EndResource pairs). It looks like the generated EPS files contain an ordinary dictionary definition as well as font information in the Prolog. I believe these commands should more properly be moved to the Script section of the document (perhaps within the %%BeginSetup/%%EndSetup sub-section).
I manually edited an EPS file to make the prolog empty, and moved the mpldict definition to the body of the file, and it then worked fine with MS Word.
