Thank you for this example.
To illustrate the difference in handling between Xfig and Inkscape, here is
a beamer
slide with both formulas:
SVG integral is Paul's saved as eps
Xfig integral is an external inset of the formula in a rectangle.
As you may see, the beamer fonts are respected in the xfig inset.
If I add in preamble mathserif option to the beamer document class,
I get the second result.
IMHO, xfig is more powerful, as there is no need to change the fig file
to adapt to document default changes to familiy, series and shape.

I'm not trying to side-track this discussion, but there's a bit of an
issue I've had with XFig itself (before I incorporate its figures into LyX,
which works fabulously). I can start XFig so that all NEW text has the
"special" flag and LaTeX fonts. However, if I want to edit a file in XFig
which has been created elsewhere (I often produce plots in .eps format in,
say, Mathematica, then use pstoedit to turn it into XFig format), the fonts,
of course, don't have these special flags. I have written a Mathematica
program to correctly set these flags in the XFig files, but one has to have
Mathematica!. So my question is:
Is there a simple program to set these things (special flag, LaTeX
fonts, perhaps some nice feature like scale-fonts-to-60%-of-original-size)?
Is there some switch in pstoedit that I'm missing? Or is there a simple
regex way from bash? I'll eventually get another way figured out; it's not a
pressing concern.
Thanks,
Curtis O.
