fig2ps takes an option "--forcespecial" so that the text need not be 
"special" in the .fig file itself.

Another thing not yet mentioned is the use of sans serif fonts.  I 
accomplish this with a "sans_fonts.sty" file which contains the two lines

\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
\usepackage{sfmath}

where sfmath.sty I downloaded from

http://dtrx.de/od/tex/sfmath.html

Then call fig2ps like this:

fig2ps --add=type1cm,sans_fonts figure.fig

The package "type1cm" causes latex to use scalable fonts.

HTH,
