Caveats

1. Upstream release is Type 1 fonts in a StuffIt archive (.sit); may need to start from a third-party zip such as the one on fontsquirrel. The fonts will need to be converted to OpenType CFF (OTF).
2. 3 families = 3 subpackages. The archive contains Chemist Regular, Chemist Rough and Chemist Periodic. Chemist Periodic is not a handwriting font.

Additional information

1. Featured in Tripwiremagazine's 45+ exceptionally useful free handwritten fonts.
2. Some of the other fonts on Cathy Davies' may have licensing permitting Fedora inclusion.
