So basically it's a type of Caesar cipher where letters are mapped to something else one-to-one. Very easy to decrypt / reverse. If this tool ever became popular there would be hundreds of scripts to defeat it.

And as it is, it does not prevent "OCR", only copy-paste.




looks like it's actually one-to-many across unicode, if so then you could think of it as approaching one-time-pad encryption, with the key being the font

if the generator crafted a new font every time, never used the same codepoint twice, and kept the font separate from the document (pre-shared by being installed on the intended receiver's machine) then it'd be uncrackable!
