According to the FOP page on graphics:
EPS
FOP provides support for two output targets:
a.. PostScript (full support).
b.. 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 GhostScript)
will render the EPS correctly.
Other output targets can't be supported at the moment because FOP lacks a
PostScript interpreter.
