Chemist is a handwriting-style font. One idea of a treatment that would work well with this font is using it for blockquotes in a print layout. The font was created by Cathy Davies as a memorial to her late father.

So, you want to package Chemist?

Our fonts packaging policy, which the above refers to, is documented here:

Last week’s font was Chunk Five by Meredith Mandel. Nobody has picked up the font package request yet! Would you like to?

Posted by Jim | November 25, 2009, 10:18 amI don’t think I have an eye for the artistic arts, so I really appreciate the suggestion for what this font could be used for, as I wouldn’t ever come up with something like that myself. Thanks!

Posted by Kurt McKee | November 26, 2009, 1:42 amI love the font. Unfortunately I have no way to open .sit files. Luckily I was able to find a .zip of it at http://www.fontspace.com/cathy-davies (for others who may be in the same boat I’m in)
Posted by BostonPeng | November 26, 2009, 11:53 amMy FUDBus to-do list reads as follows:
1. Sugar Labs Oversight Board meeting and Sugar Labs Infrastructure Team meeting, both with Bernie, both with blogging immediately afterwards.
2. Ensure all signs/logistics/scheduling/accounting for FUDCon are set insofar as I can do anything about them from the bus
3. User research interviews
4. Go through font packaging tutorial with Mo to knock a couple fonts out and also leave the tutorial better than when we started
5. A Task To Be Disclosed On FUDBus
#4 pending your willingness and free time, of course – but the bus ride is a long one. 😉
