Not sure why it's not entirely obvious in the font node but how do we get per character transforms to work, eg per character rotation?

I see I have access to a text index in the attributes but that leads me down the ugly path of vexing to feed a transform node to operate on individual letters which is probably outlandishly convoluted lol.

Please tell me there's a simple way to get such a basic task worked out.

Enable the “textindex” attribute by “add text attributes” in the font node.

Append a primitive node, activate “Do transformation” and enter something like
rand(@textindex) * 120 * @Time
in at least one of the rotate fields.

Or do any kinds of transformations with a wrangle node based on textindex.
