[R] Font settings in xfig

[Robert]

If I edit the fig file with Xfig, I have to change the value of
"special flag" to "special" and the font to a LaTeX font instead of a
postscript font.
If these changes are not made, the pstex_t file produced from fig2dev
doesn't contain the text as it should. So if I input the pstex_t in a
tex file, the text in the figure is not in the same font as the rest
of the document.

I'm exporting figures like this:

xfig(file="test.fig", width=5, height=4, onefile=TRUE)
plot(data,xlab="Something", ylab="Some other thing")
dev.off()

The xfig command does have an argument called encoding, but I can't
figure out if this can be used to make the changes I want. In the par
command there's an argument called family, which is used to specify
the font family in figures, but I don't know how changes this font to
a LaTeX font.

Thanks for your help!

Robert
