Hi, After a couple of weeks messing around scripts and psfrag with MatLAB, I found an easy way to generate beautiful, font-consistent figures in LaTeX.
It turns out that the latest version of Octave, an open-source MatLAB-like environment, allows gnuplot figures to be exported in several LaTeX friendly formats. Using the command print(filename,device), figures can be saved in EPS, PS or other formats: http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Printing-Plots.html#index-print-805 Specifying the device as 'depslatex' produces two files: one EPS file with the graphics, and one TeX file which overlays the axis labels and annotations, ensuring the fonts will be consistent with the rest of your document. Even more remarkable, using 'depslatexstandalone' generates one TeX file that includes the data from your figure. I found this to be amazing - you've got full control over your figures at this point. I apologize if this is commonly-known information, but I didn't find any readily available information on the web, and thought I'd pass it along. Beautiful figures, huzzah!
