Random font script?

[Daniel Tomasch]

Does anyone know of a script to assign random fonts to a bunch of text?

Basically, I've got a slew of words which are going to go into a collage. Instead of manually changing the font, size, weight of each, I'd like each word to be changed automatically.

I thought I'd seen one of these once, but I can't find head-nor-tail of it.

Any help?

Don't know of a script, but you might have more fun with a ransom note font. There are several free ones hanging round the Web, but I like this one that is professionally done:

I wrote this ages ago: randomizing type features such as leading <http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?7@@.59b68bb0/8>.

Shouldn't be too hard to add random fonts to the mix.

Notice it randomizes characters. You can make it work on words by ... simply changing 'characters' into 'words'. Really.
Oh, and change

for (i=0; i<app.selection[0].length; i++)

to

for (i=0; i<app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].words.length; i++)
