I've made a series of comps each representing a letter from the alphabet. Is there an expression or plugin where I can convert the relevant text character on screen to be replaced by the appropriate comp.
e.g. I've made a.jpg b.jpg c.jpg.
I type "abc" into a text field, apply a magic expression/plugin, and the letters abc are overlaid/replaced by my comps?
I'm not expecting perfect kerning, spacing etc.. Just a quick way to get a start on this.
The Characteristic plugin for After Effects is built specifically for this:

You can set kerning and spacing parameters for each character. Check out this tutorial to see how the font is set up:
I hope this helps your situation!
