Not in the LWFN---that's just the same information as in the PFB, but cut
up in chunks a bit differently. The information you seek is instead in the
FOND (which sits in the font suitcase file). There is an old font tool,
probably called DumpFOND, from Apple which dumps the information (or at
least a lot of it) in this resource as a text file. I believe this is still
available somewhere on their website, but unfortunately they don't seem to
have bothered documenting the output format. It's human-readable though.
