Random Character Generation

logosam

I have a client that wants me to create a font from Illustrator files with 2 alternate characters and turn it into a typeable font such that a different alternate character in generated every time you press a certain key. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished or wether it's possible?

You can use contextual alternates to accomplish random look: Opentype Random Contextual Alternates.
