Phlllbffft. I am 99% sure that I no longer have Ransom on any puter in this place.

I was working on a font that used OpenType features to create the effect.

It had the base letter glyphs, and then every letter had 4-5 alt forms that came from different fonts, and turning on "calt" would pick randomly between the alts. All you had to do was type the letters, and you'd get a fairly random-looking effect.

I didn't ever use it. It was mostly so that I could see the difference between the choices made by the RNG.

What got me started on it was the book within a book in Misery. If you look at the original hardcover printing, the same letter was not always rendered exactly the same way, almost as if they actually typed it out and scanned it. So, I wanted to tweak a typewriter font to do the alternate letters, but I wasn't changing much on the glyphs, so it was hard to tell if it was working. Thus, the ransom note test version.

I get it. I think it's very clever, I truly do.
