No its not. A felt tip pen is like a pen only with felt a calligraphy pens have metal tips or nibs that are flat and of various widths. In recent years there have been felt tipped caligraphy pens introduced that also have flat tips as opposed to the traditional pointed tips used for convential writing.

An easy way to think of this is that: as far as English Calligraphy goes, all calligraphy pens are fountain pens but not all fountain pens are calligraphy pens.

Many fountain pens have nibs of varying length that are not necessarily suitable for calligraphy, such as fine/med sizes. On the other hand, all calligraphy pens that are not markers/brushes are fountain pens. This is largely due to the fact that fountain pens can deliver a good contrast between broad/thin strokes by changing the angle with relative ease. A calligraphy pen is a special fountain pen.
