it’s hard to judge if this is the case. The randomization code looks good to me, but I might be wrong. It will have a slight preference for characters in the smaller Font, and for characters appearing in both fonts (FreeSans and DejaVu Sans). Do you have both of these fonts installed? Besides that, I’d be glad if someone else looks over the code, maybe I’m missing something.
