I think the built-in OTF support for contextual alternates still go by character pairs, so na na na will still look identical even if I can get ba na na to look slightly different. I can easily get SVG out of FontForge, though, and I've come across some programs that take text, randomize the glyphs used, and return an SVG. I might be able to figure out something like that. I probably won't go to that extent on my blog, but it may be fun to explore just for curiosity's sake

Ooh, another comment in this thread linked to something about cycling through alternate glyphs, which would work for the na na na case! I think that might work.
