Based on my experience, even working between different versions of 
Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator and migrating files between the two:

If at all, I avoid any text in vector drawing applications. Importing 
fonts, especially across platforms can be painful. All text should be 
converted to outline before export as PDF or EPS. 

If you are trying to import EPS as vectors it is essential to have 
updated Ghostscript see:

Please feel free to send me files off list for testing.
