No. But if you pose it as a challenge for the students I am sure they will 
figure out a way.

Letters like C, D, I, J, L, M, N, O, V, W, Z are easy while A, B, E, F, H, K, 
T, U, Y may stump them for a moment. S is really difficult and may need some 
help. Know why S is difficult is part of the fun (cf. Digital Typography by Don 
Knuth, chapter 13).
