Hi,

the export feature of Mathematica are highly system depend. 
I can tell you that the PostScript import of Mathematica graphics
int Corel Draw 9 (PostScript Interpereted or AI) work fine.
Import PostScript as line drawing into Mathematica has (at least
on my NT machine) a bug because the postscript interpreter of
Mathematica generate a temporal file with the graphics primitives
and this temporal file termininate some where in the middle.

I would not expect that the reimport of a graphics into Mathematica
as line drawing work perfect. Export work when your fingers are crossed
also for text labels and fonts.

Hope that helps
  Jens
