You might also look at DrawAt, available from

Personally, I use Stone Create, because I can line things up visually 
and it's easy to remember how to use it :).  If you're labeling figures 
with equations, I recommend Equation Service, as Create supports 
Services (select your LaTeX equation source text, then choose 
Services->Typeset to pasteboard, then paste).  Add your Lucida stuff to 
the Equation Service templates, and it should just work with your 
fonts.

You can also leave the source text of your equation in the Create 
document, for future modifications; just select the components of your 
page that you want for the final figure, then drag the PDF out of 
Create's image well (this description won't make sense unless you try 
it).  Current versions of Create can also edit PDF files that it has 
produced, so you can put the PDF you just exported back into Create and 
move the equation around, add more labels, or whatever.

hth,
Adam
