Simulate handwriting with LaTeX

Question

I am looking for a way to randomize characters rendering, to simulate handwriting.

I already saw this, but it's not enough for me, only the position of the words are randomized.

Can you use opentype fonts with xetex or luatex, or do you need a solution for pdftex? — Thérèse, Jul 31 '14 at 20:18
Of course, http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/29402/how-do-i-make-my-document-look-like-it-was-written-by-a-cthulhu-worshipping-madm is related to this. It is only the third highest voted question on this site. — Steven B. Segletes, Jul 31 '14 at 20:31
@StevenB.Segletes To be fair, the OP may not be looking for the handwriting of a Cthulhu-worshipping madman... ;). — cfr, Jul 31 '14 at 21:34

I know it's an old topic. Since I could not find anything, I started a small python script that do what I wanted to do.

I don't see how this is related to LaTeX? – Johannes_B Oct 03 '15 at 09:38
Yes, you are right, but the final result is what I want to achieve, with or without LaTeX. – Andre Rodier Oct 03 '15 at 16:08
