If the TTF is large or other deeply thought reason, the font will be rather 
outlined than embedded. To be honest, I think your printer would be even 
happier if you would outline all your texts as all issues related to fonts 
would vanished -- considering text would be turned into regular graphic 
elements.
Conclusion, do not be scared by "outline" if you intend to print it!

Likely you did not properly setup color management.
