He had this to say: “When MATLAB saves a LaTeX-interpreted string to an .eps file, it embeds Postscript definition files for each Computer Modern font needed to display the string. MATLAB does this because it does not know which Postscript fonts may be defined on a destination machine that may load the .eps file later. In Example 4 from Doug's video, MATLAB embeds font definitions for CMR10, CMR7, CMR10, CMR7, CMSY7, in that order, into the .eps file. I think it is unnecessary for MATLAB to embed CMR10 and CMR7 twice -- this may be a bug. Also, in some future release, we may want to find a way to integrate with psfrag-like apps more efficiently.” I went to the LaTeX guru here at The MathWorks. He had this to say:

A workaround is to put plain text in my figures, and ten modify the .eps files with the LaTeX package psfragThis gives much smaller .eps files, but is very inconvenient. Obviously I'd like to do everything in Matlab, but at this point, that doesn't seem like it's feasible.
