In fact, one can "fine tune" this operation to have this sort of effect:
put the number of chars in fld "ff" into NF
if char NF of fld "ff" = "a" then
set the textFont of char NF of fld "ff" to "MonsterMash"
else
set the textFont of char NF of fld "ff" to "UsualBoring"
end if

Possibly I am reinventing the wheel here:
set the textFont of word 3 to "Charcoal"
This IS incredibly useful when one is typing to Mum in Sanskrit (as
one does) and wants to
use a variant glyph (as one does continuously) as it allows one to
have 2 congruent fonts
side-by-side featuring differing variants of standard glyphs.
No: I know that that will not make many of you run out into the road
madly waving your
underpants over your heads shouting "Ra, Ra, Rasputin!", but,
notwithstanding . . . it excites me
no end.
