The problem seems to be that, for some reason, Mathematica does not
embed the used fonts in the eps file.
There are several things you can do to solve this:
1. Use psfrag instead of the (ugly) mathematica fonts, as the other
poster suggested.
2. Download the postscript fonts from [1], install them in some
location where ghostscript can find them, and run ps2ps on your
exported pictures. This will give you a new file, including the
fonts.
3. Use the emmathfnt package, available at [2]
I've only used the first and second method, which both work fine
(although the first is somewhat easier and gives better results).
I've never tried the third option, but it looks nice and should be
quite easy to use.
