Yes, that works. The file size increases only by a factor of 1.5.
However, the font rendering in Ghostview, Yap or Acrobat (after dvipdfm)
is not as clean as with the Illustrator-generated file ...

Probably this will work in a command window on windows (gswin32c.exe is
somewhere under your ghostscript directory):

gswin32c -q -sDEVICE=epswrite -sOutputFile=outfile.eps -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER infile.eps

... because (somebody mentioned on the MiKTeX mailing list) this
converts fonts to bitmaps.
