Random case seems to have a certain attraction :(

There have been hopes that one would be able to do transcription (at
the visual level) simply by changing fonts. Has any one seen anything
of that? I've particularly seen the wish expressed that one could
write a Pali text in one Brahmi-derived alphabet and then
transliterate it visually to another simply by changing the font.

I presume the graphite fonts might have the power to do this.
Graphite and Uniscribe seems to be inspired by the premise that this
sort of transformation is beyond the power of OpenType.
