Windows Control Panel fields: “Designed For”, “Category” and “Manufacturer”

Belleve Invis

I am trying to make these fields displayed in the Control Panel, but I have absolutely no clue about them.
Adobe's Source Sans Pro does not have them either. How to get them work?

Do take a look at fms_metadata.xml in Windows fonts folder. It is hidden and read-only, so not easy to access.

If you want to look at it, open a command prompt and type...

cd\windows\fonts
notepad fms_metadata.xml

If you need to see other hidden files

dir /A:H /B

It looks like this.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<MetaFile Type="System" Version="1.0.0.0">
  <Font Family="Marlett">
    <Meta Name="Scripts">Zsym;</Meta>
  </Font>
  <Font Family="Andalus">
    <Meta Name="Category">1</Meta>
    <Meta Name="Scripts">Arab;</Meta>
    <Meta Name="Vendor">Glyph Systems</Meta>
  </Font>
  <Font Family="Arial Unicode MS">
    <Meta Name="Category">0</Meta>
    <Meta Name="Scripts">Latn;Grek;Cyrl;Armn;Geor;Arab;Hebr;</Meta> 
    <Meta Name="Vendor">Microsoft Corporation</Meta>
  </Font>
  <Font Family="Terminal">
    <Meta Name="Category">0</Meta>
    <Meta Name="Scripts">Latn;</Meta>
    <Meta Name="Vendor">Microsoft Corporation</Meta>

  <Font Family="Courier">
    <Meta Name="Category">0</Meta>
    <Meta Name="Scripts">Latn;</Meta>
    <Meta Name="Vendor">Microsoft Corporation</Meta>
  </Font>
  <Font Family="Fixedsys">
    <Meta Name="Category">0</Meta>
    <Meta Name="Scripts">Latn;</Meta>
    <Meta Name="Vendor">Microsoft Corporation</Meta>
  </Font>

and so forth.
