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.
