Thanks, this worked, but not perfectly the thickness of the lines is
changed considerably by xfig. Source of the problem is that xfig handles
only a few line thicknesses.
However, you still pointed me to the right direction. The best method is
saving my graph (in grace) as a svg image. Open it in inkscape, insert
the bitmap and export everything as eps. Save the fonts as curves
because inkscape does not deal correcly with the postscript fonts from
grace.
