Randomly switch characters in text from one font to another
Hi,
I’m trying to work out an automated way of randomly changing the font of individual characters within a text object. End result to resemble the algorithm loop preset, but with the content staying the same, and instead the font changing.
i.e. A word appears on the screen, and some of the characters flicker to hebrew and back.
I’ve done this manually with 2 layers and masks, but was wondering if there was a faster (possibly expression based) way of doing this!
Thanks in advance

Fonts (or any other property of the actual layout of the textcontent: kerning, superscript, etc.) cannot be changed with expressions.
But theoretically:
If you can find or create a truetype font that has multiple alphabets at different unicode positions, you could do something with character offset. -
ah ok – good to know, thanks. might have a play around with that sometime!
