An interesting fact of the history of self modifying fonts is that one of the first of those fonts, the FF Beowolf, was created by Just van Rossum and Erik van Blokland. And Just van Rossum is the brother of Guido van Rossum. Some more details from FontFont: "FF Beowolf was born at the end of the dark and murky 1980s when Just van Rossum and Erik van Blokland found a way to change the programming in PostScript fonts. When printed, each point in each letter in every word on the page would move randomly, giving the letters a shaken, distraught appearance."
