Here I collected the checksums of various versions of MingLiU.
During the check, I found that recent MingLiU (post-Vista, and
Microsoft Office for Mac) don't cause broken shape issue anymore.
This is good to know.
I checked various versions mentioned at:

Some of these tables are very short (a total of only 44 bytes on the Mac), so
what is the likelihood that they match tables in other fonts that don't require
TT hinting?
We need some guarantee that comparing these values will uniquely identify the
relevant fonts.

It's reasonable.
My concern is that the (small) tables may actually be the same in a variety of
fonts.
If I check the fonts

Good to know.
