<snip> My understanding has always been that sending fonts along with a
print job
to a SB is common practice, as long as the SB agrees to delete the fonts
after the job is done, which this particular SB has promised to do.
That was our policy when I worked at a service bureau. Though I'm no
copyright expert, I don't see a problem with that as long as the SB deletes
the fonts. It' sort of like your client not letting you take the hard copy
to get photo copied.
