The handwritten and calligraphic style are limited to upright
alternatives. I can only speculate why this is the case but I guess Hans
owns no font families where this is necessary (e.g. Lucida Bright has
only one file for handwriting and calligraphy).
Adding additional alternatives to both styles is possible but the
included typescripts (e.g. for lucida bright ot) have to be checked and
fixed.
