Yes, use the other way round: import LyX formulas in xfig.
A bit cumbersome, but efficient:
- create a LyX document for each math insert in xfig, say foo.lyx
- export as LateX -> foo.tex
- compile and produce an eps image -> foo.eps (option -E of dvips)
- insert in xfig
Be sure to have a \pagestyle{empty} if you want an eps of the right size.
Here is an example in foo.tex (one step back for foo.lyx):
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
$\mathcal{H}_\infty$
\end{document}
then
latex foo;dvips -E -o foo.eps foo
When you use it often, you will be happy to build a bank of formulas.
You might probably use the customize command of LyX to implement it.
