In NEW, although there are some issues:
* no watch version mangling, prohibited embedding -- as pointed out by
Lintian
* I consider the short desc to be strongly misleading. When someone says
"authentic secretary hand font" it evokes a secretary 4.5 centuries
younger. People who write by hand a lot have a well-developed
writing style, and if they're actually paid for readability (as opposed
to eg. medical professionals[1]), that's a "secretary hand".
On the other hand, this font is about a _Renaissance_ dude.
Meow!
[1]. Who overhelmingly, in my experience, match the stereotype.
