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
If you need to see other hidden files
notepad fms_metadata.xmldir /A:H /B
It looks like this.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<MetaFile Type="System" Version="1.0.0.0">

<Meta Name="Scripts">Zsym;</Meta>
