WinFIG forum

i got a problem with the grafic conversion i'm currently working on. i think there can nothing be done, but maybe someone got a good idea?   

what i do is:
draw something in inkscape -> save as eps
start a batch: converts every *.eps with pstoeit to *.fig -> converts every *.fig with fig2dev to *.pdf / *.tex
import *.tex in LaTeX

first problem: how do i tell fig2dev that every text is "special"?
second problem: .fig doesn't support color gradient and pstoedit doesn't export bitmaps, so i can't convert the color gradient in inkscape to bitmap

  any help is appreciated
