There's a program, which is very similar to xfig (but easier to use); it's called tgif (by William Chia-Wei Cheng), the main advantage is: tgif uses latex and ps-export (re-import) to create formulas within the tgif-document, therefore it supports all the fonts and special caracters you my want to use within your figures. it supports eps-export, too, therefore theres no problem inserting the graphics in LyX. tgif is easy to find at rpmfind.net, but it has an own homepage, too http://bourbon.usc.edu:8001/tgif/ Don't know if this was exactly your Problem, but I hope it helped. -Kai-
