I use the psfrag package to replace text with LaTeX. psfrag should is part
of my teTeX (and available on CTAN, if not in your distribution).
In the preamble I insert \usepackage{psfrag} and in the figure floats an
ERT-box with commands like
\psfrag{x_3}{$x_3$}
\psfrag{title}{first plot}
Con: a lot of additional writing (one command for every replaced string)
sometimes problems with size and alignment
dvi preview looks awfull, use ps preview
Pro: nice and consistent look of the end-product
full user control,
can change appearance, size and content in the LyX file
See the documentation in pfgguide.ps
( /usr/share/doc/texmf/latex/psfrag/pfgguide.ps.gz on my Debian system )
