I bought "DynaFont Type Studio TrueType for Macintosh"
including 50 japanese TrueType fonts which was released
on 2001-Sept. Sorry, this product is already obsolete.

http://www.dynacw.co.jp/dynafont/archive/03mac.html

All of them have Roman and Shift-JIS cmap only (no Unicode
cmap), and FreeType2 recognizes all (!) MacOS Shift-JIS
cmaps are broken. Here's the list of PostScript font names
and their versions.

Also I've checked fonts bundled to MS Office v.X for Mac.
There are 3 Dynalab fonts which has only Roman and Shift-JIS
cmap (without Unicode cmap, again). FreeType2 recognizes
all Shift-JIS cmap as broken.
