fig2dev -Leps is usually not the kind of conversion that is wanted as this
uses ugly fonts. This should rather be something like
#!/bin/sh
# usage: fig2eps foo.fig foo.eps
TMPDIR=/tmp
BASE=fig2epstmp_$$
PSNAME=fig2epstmp_content_$$.ps
echo "
\\documentclass{article}

`fig2dev -L pstex $1`

`fig2dev -L pstex_t -p $PSNAME $1`
