Use almost any font.

Text Anarchy supports OpenType, TrueType and Postscript Type 1 font. You can use any typeface or font style. Weve recently added support for Unicode; foreign language characters with diacritical marks like Spanish and French; and large character set fonts such as Asian character sets.

Import or input text.

The text characters can either be generated randomly, hand entered, or imported from an ASCII-based text file.To input text, type the text youd like to use in the initial dialog box. To import text, click the Load button to navigate to a .TXT file as youd create in MS Word or Notepad or TextEdit.

You can use dingbat, symbol or clip art fonts to create random streams of vector art, or special characters like Asian language fonts.

This opens up a wide variety of font styles that can be used with non-traditional text, like creating ASCII art or using text characters as graphics.

Use Random characters.

If you just want random text, click past the default input box that initially opens. Then select the checkbox called Random Characters. Youll get more random text than you know what to do with.

There are also controls for adjusting what characters in a font get used. For example, if you want to only recognize numbers, then set the Lower Alt Characters to 48 and Upper Alt Characters to 57. Or, if you have a dingbat font with images only in ASCII positions 55 through 95, tell the plugin to only use those charaters.
