I not know why chkfontpath isn't in Fedora repo.
But You can get it from ATrpms repo ( http://atrpms.net/ or e.g.
ftp mirror at ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/atrpms/dl.atrpms.net/ )
(among others interesting packages there is e.g. libdvdcss and others).
Or You may download / build rpm package which use "fc-cache" instead.
How build it is there:

and when in some internet search machine (bingo;) you put
"msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.noarch.rpm" You perhaps obtain some references to
final package.
