I had the same problem with FOP. My Master's thesis was a Docbook file
with some EPS figures enclosed. When I rendered the FO file to PDF with
FOP, the EPS figures didn't show. However, when I rendered the FO file
to PS with FOP, I could see the EPS figures in Acrobat Reader and
Apple's Preview.
If I remember correctly, the reason was this: EPS files (which stands
for Encapsulated Postscript) are just wrapped in the PS code of the
rendered file. The viewer has to understand Postscript to show the EPS
figure. A PDF viewer can't do that, but e.g. a Postscript printer can.
So it's possible you can't see the figures on screen but they are
printed on paper.
Of course when you render the FO file to Postscript the PS viewer will
show the EPS figures. If you want a PDF you can convert the Postscript
file to PDF with ImageMagick.
