New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I´m working on my first typeface. It is supposed to look as if cut out of paper. In order to improve the "handmade" look, I designed several glyphs for each charakter. (You can see it on the example .png I uploaded. I searched a few days but didn´t find an answer to my question: is there a script that makes the font choose different glyphs for each charakter incidentally?
Until now, I have to pick every alternative glyph in the glyphs window in indesign, which is too time consuming, of course.
Any suggestions? If somebody doesn´t know the answer but knows where I could improve my knowledge about open type and python in general, this might help, too.
Thank you!

AFAIK it can’t be done, but there are some nice tricks that can fake it pretty well. It is a recurring question here on Typophile (seems that a lot of people wants to do something like that, myself included). You can start your search by googling something like
