Updating older versions of Adobe fonts? Slightly off-topic, but related in a way!

I, too, wish there were an upgrade path for fonts.

Though I haven't tried them, something else to look at might be the 
various font conversion utilities. Searching on "font conversion" turned 
up several free online utilities. You can also buy professional 
conversion utilities at http://www.fontlab.com.
