It's only going to be a problem if they have an older RIP which isn't
able to handle it, which depends on when they last did an upgrade. If
it is a problem, it'll be one up-front since they won't even be able
to generate a proof (if they're doing this properly --- never trust a
printer who uses a different workflow for generating proofs then for
making plates).
You may be able to work around this by dumping to PostScript and re-
distilling w/ the correct settings, or you can run the file through
GhostScript and convert all type to paths (which will blow up file-
size / complexity).
