(a) I don't know how OS X identifies such Chinese fonts. Is it based
on font names? Otherwise, if it is based on table checksums only,
we are out of luck.
(b) The really hard thing is the `inspect' stuff. Do you have access
to a TrueType bytecode debugger on OS X that uses the OS X
bytecode engine? Otherwise, it would be necessary to do the same
as my RasterInfo font, namely adding a special digit glyph that
displays a given value as a number.
Volunteers for (b) are welcome :-)
