I export files from xfig in encapsulated postscript (eps) format, then 
use the graphicx and psfrag packages to load and play with the fonts:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{psfrag,graphicx}
\begin{document}
\psfrag{A}{$A^2$}
\psfrag{B}{$B_1$}
\includegraphics[scale=1.50]{quiz1.eps}
\end{document}

This replaces the letters "A" and "B" in the eps file with $A^2$ and
$B_1$, scales the graphic by 150%, and puts it in the document.  Full
docs in 
  /usr/lib/texmf/doc/latex/graphics/epslatex.ps.gz 
  /usr/lib/texmf/doc/latex/psfrag/pfgguide.ps.gz

HTH,
Norris
