Turns out the rastized look is an artifact of a sketch bug probably.

I see the "rasterized" effect, too; also when I run "pstoedit -f pdf"
on "my" eps file and view the resulting pdf file in gv. I saved it
from sketch. Apparently, it is not a problem with OO.o, but an already
known oddity of gradients saved by sketch:

So far, I don't see whether sketch is wrong here, or both pstoedit and
the software you used fail to read the file correctly.

The mouthline is not the only section I modified, but if I remember
correctly, it is the only section I removed and recreated in sketch. 
I used "my" penguin with LaTeX and GhostScript only where it displays
and prints fine.

I don't object. However, I suggest that you point people to the sketch
homepage (or that particular thread in the archive). I do not have the
time to find out if sketch can save my penguin to a "better" eps file,
but maybe someone else has. The sketch mailing list might help, too.

Anyway, the wmf file of Simon's penguin you attached renders fine in
OO.o.

Best wishes,

  Anja
