I'm having a lot of trouble getting in sync with my printing company. I've been trying to use common fonts (Times, Garamond) for my company newsletter to avoid any cross-platform issues, and I even supply the fonts when I turn in the job, but the last couple of issues have really had some reflow and kerning issues. It actually looks like the end result font is a point or two bigger than the original file. My newsletter looks like crap. Any suggestions?

Thanks
