The main thing high end (as far as i know the likes of Printing.com?) we convert everything to paths and create a pdf of the artwork - sometimes true type fonts don't turn to paths right, it is beneficial to have postscript for the conversion of both text to path and creation of a pdf.

i always create a paths version of the artwork when sending to plate for litho also, so same applies - although mostly you can get away with true type (of course my own experience is with macs and it's font formats pre osx) windows formats could be different and as long as it is a pretty decent typeface, at the least, then it will be fine.

True Type seems to rip fine, in terms of printing from windows and a mac, in proofing/printing a job like flyers, booklets, menu or a report as far as I know
