Since you already seem to know (La)TeX, you may be able to use psfrag
to postprocess the eps output from IDL, using the full (La)TeX for the
labels. The psfrag is probably installed on your system (if you have
TeX installed, that is). Try `texdoc pfgguide' on the (Linux) command
line to get the manual and see if it may work for you. It is part of
both teTeX and MikTeX.
HTMH,

After reading this post I tried it out, because there are many situations
where this might be a valuable addition for a plot, but I have mixed
feelings about that... the application of psfrags to IDL plots is not
100% straigthforward (a bit of editing of the EPS file itself often
required) and it bothers me that I have to embed the original plot in a LaTeX
document to have the final version. Is there a simple way of producing an
eps file (with the same size as the original plot) from the dvi output of
a LaTeX file containing just the original plot and the psfrag substitution
commands?
