I have no idea. :-) Patches are welcome.  Up to now I've never seen a
real PS font which actually uses random numbers for defining its
shape, so this is really a minor issue, necessary only to test the CFF
`random' operator (and similar stuff in other PS flavours).  BTW, if
you have such a font I would be glad if you can send it to me offline
for my font test collection.
