Insert the xfig files via Insert->External material and not the graphics inset. Then you can simply mark any text in xfig as 'special' and write LaTeX code such as formulas. This LaTeX code will then be automatically rendered in the document font in the final ps or pdf document. You don't need to export anything, LyX and xfig will do the right magic for you. Georg PS: Somebody who is familiar with this should document this with an example in the wiki please (or even better send a patch to Uwe's new EmbeddedObjects.lyx document)
