Retain crisp publication quality figures

Hi, I have been writing numerous plotting codes in matlab and now that the time is for publishing I feel that my graphs do not look like publication quality. Sometimes I have letters fade or they get cut off as if I erased part of my title. Sometimes when I specify a fontsize or make the "FontWeight' bold, only parts of the text are in bold. Also when I use subplot, the legends have a line running through them. This is very frustrating. Any ideas about why this is happening? Thank you very much for your time and help.

Thank you for the answer proescm. exportfig seems to be great function. However, how do I deal with figures that get corrupted as they are plotted. Is there a reason that this happens? Thank you for your time.
