Daniel, 

      To switch to OpenType versions of the fonts (which will have different
      font names than what we've been using) will mean having to "remap" the
      current postscript fonts to the new OpenType fonts and then address possible
      word flow changes in all the collateral developed to-date. Would this
      be a correct assumption?




Yes. Global font search and replace. Then tidy up any copy reflow (you may even get lucky here) and other loose ends. Then, to play it safe, proofread everything.

It's not that Type 1 fonts are bad; just not as consistent in cross-platform typography. And you pick up a modern technology (OpenType) as a bonus.
