If you really want to match the latex fonts exactly, you might want to
try psfrag.sty.  I used to use it regularly when putting math in S
figures was more trouble than it is now with R, and it worked very
well.  My approach was to use "meaningful" text strings in the S
graphic, so that the graphic was useful on it's own (outside of the
latex document), and then substitute for those strings using psfrag in
the latex document.
