One thing that seems to be missing from the answers is any sort of (pseudo)random modifications to the resulting text.
Can this sort of thing be done with plain LaTeX? I've seen trivial examples of randomness using LuaTeX; would that be a practical way to add some randomness to the typeset text?
- jbri 15y agoReally? The answer with the highest upvotes appears to be rotating words to "random" angles, and links to a post[1] which has minimal code for just doing that.

- tikhonj 15y agoI was actually thinking more about the very last sentence of the top answer where he says he doesn't know how to modify the font-size and spacing randomly. This led me to assuming the footnote angle thing was somehow specialized or insufficiently general. I don't really understand the code in the answer you linked to well enough to see how to apply it more generally.
- jbri 15y agoThe linked code uses the lcg package for random numbers - see this other (poorly-named) question[1] for an example of how to use it [1]:http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/16768/how-to-convert-number-to-length http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/16768/how-to-convert-...
