As of today the only 2 ways i know of are:
Hack the CFF headers of a font: github example and put the modified font(s) in a prioritized font folder.
The other one indeed is
TinkerTool. However you have to spoof your version of Mac OS X temporarily to make it work. According to this site and this post 4th entry:Go to
System/Library/CoreServicesinside your OS X hard drive and open the fileSystemVersion.plistwith TextEdit. Change the system version listed under "ProductVersion" to 10.9. You should also change "ProductUserVisibleVersion", just so that you can confirm that the edit worked later by going to theAbout This Macpage.
