That sort of glyph (character) switching would need to be done *within an
application*, either with an *Alternate Glyph Substitution* menu command, *
or* with a *Glyph Palette* that a user would add-on to his/her
application(s).
Ex.: In my new ISRI Font Series, there are old-style forms for <C> and <G>
(that are boxy in appearance), and for <T> (like a larger copy of the usual
lowercase letter—with the vertical stroke expanded a bit at top past the
horizontal cross-stroke, and the bottom-right hook), which would be used in
old-time documents (to make it look like the 1500s-1600s, or to make it
look like it was written by a moron...). Most of us would use such a
command (and/or add-on applet) to switch the forms of—let's say—the capital
velar nasal letter *Eng* <Ŋ> (to make it look like either a capital <N> or
a large lowercase <n> in form). Thank You!
