Script for randomly replacing characters with alternates for natural handdrawn look

i have been looking script comic book project. script randomly find , change example of "e"s alternates in font. possible? know if exists? i’ve been looking quite hard - , no luck. in 2009 discussing similar - not quite looking for.

 

best regards denmark....

what use findreplacebylist this, you'll not random thing this. however, can manually define es need replacing, encasing them in sort of special character used. granted, it's not prettiest solution, works , retains human element.

 

for example, i'll use ■ (alt+254). let's say, have word leeds. , want second e other e. you'd write le■e■ds in text.

 

• find out ascii code of special e. because needs different one.
• open findreplacebylist
• add line it:

  grep

  {findwhat:"■.■*"}

  {changeto:"[ascii-code of special e]"}
