Which version of ghostscript do you use ? Did you try ps2eps or purifyeps ? > Finally, there is one trick I'd like to do that was quite easy in OOo, > and that is to include equations in a figure.

(almost) Any drawing program + psfrag 2. xfig and export to "Combined PS+Latex" 3. TGIF and embed equations generated by latex 4. Sketch and embed equations generated by latex using the SketchLatex plugin: http://www.2pi.info/latex/sketchlatex/ The 4th option might be the easiest one.
