You neglect to tell us what *kind* of output.

But let me guess - you are creating a PostScript or *.eps file,
right?  The common PostScript viewers (ghostview, gv) have a
bug that does not draw pattern-filled areas unless you turn
off anti-aliasing in the Options menu.  It should come out fine
on an actual printer, however.

If I have guessed wrong, well - you need to provide more information.
