It is standard practice in the design world to rasterize type before sending it anywhere - be that from Illustrator (convert to outlines), Photoshop (rasterize), or any software which creates editable type. The last thing any designer wants is for the type in a project to get messed with. Even if the transfer occurs correctly (the font name stays the same, for example), there is always the possibility that the font metrics will get trashed in some way (letter spacing, line spacing, kerning, you name it) - and unless you send along a sample with exactly what the screen should look like, the next person in line would have no idea that there's anything wrong. Always convert your type to a bitmap version!!!
