    Few things,

    Never ever send font's to the printers.

    1) It's voids the contract you sign/accept when you purchase the fonts.

    2) Printing is a Service. If you contract someone to paint you don't go out and buy him brushes. The cost of doing buisness and materials is under his head. However, if you ask the printer/painter to use a very uncommon typeface or such then you should take the blunt of the cost or take the nesscary precausions.

    If you are using a rare, custom, or uncommon typeface. Just create outlines!

    You should never have to or need to send fonts to a printer.

    Make sure you are both using the same CYMK process.

    If your using toyo coated make sure you tell him. So you don't get some weird bugged out color fiasco.

    and Talk to the printers, magazines espcially have a certian process they use that is very diffrent. Then just sending over flattened psds/tiffs/eps.
