The enunciated procedure allows you to have the text in your figure written (in the ps/pdf output) with the same font used by your document. In particular, it is quite handy when you have formulas in your figure, as they will render as nice LaTeX wirtten formulas (in your ps/pdf output), and no need to use psfrag. (Take the attached xfig file and insert it directly; you will see a nice integral drawn inside a rectangle.)
Forgot the file in my previous post. Sorry about that! Paul
