    i worked in print for a long long time before switching over to web design...
    i have never...never...ever...heard of anyone NOT sending fonts to a printer...
    i've heard of people not sending em by accident, and then getting a call from the printer saying 'hey...where the fuck are your fonts?'..
    but never not sending 'on purpose'...
    i dunno safe..
    i suppose its possible that what you're saying is true or something..but i know i've never heard of it...
    theoretically i suppose it's wrong or something to pass around the fonts..
    but...
    realistically?

    everyone does..its how you get jobs printed...

    the convert to outlines trick is pretty good tho...
    always a good work around...

    just make sure you don't do it to your master copy...incase you have to make a text change...
    ;)

    not slammin ya safe..i've just never heard of anyone being that careful with fonts before...
