Two questions:

* Can you modify a proprietary font without the risk of violation of
  licence under which you/your company bought the fonts? Can a company
  where you work afford to bear the liabilities arising out of your
  work?

* By assigning arbitrary names to a font, don't you find a chance to
  clash with the Karl Berry scheme of font naming conventions with
  which many proprietary fonts are named and those names used in many
  map files in any TeX system?

Best regards.
