Sorry, but this seems like just too much work. Doesn't psfrag do the
trick?

I have been working with psfrag for a few years now. Right now
I'm in the middle of a book with +/-800 ps graphics from matlab. I
started by opening the ps, changing the text labels so that psfrab could
read them (simple strings in Courier) and saving as eps. Now, after
learning a bit about matlab's graphic features, I can create the labels
(title, tick marks, etc) in a form understandable by psfrag directly
