I need to convert an SVG to EPS and currently use inkscape to do this.
To convert the SVG using the Inkscape GUI version, I simply open the svg, and \"Save As\" \'logo.
The command I had to use to fix this problem was
inkscape in.svg -E out.eps --export-ignore-filters --export-ps-level=3
where in.svg is your image and out.eps is the eps that comes out.
