As has been said in numerous other threads about this, the problem is the font.  Both getting and setting the font are the two most difficult parts as Plus!'s scripting engine does not have any simple methods for them.  To do this would require packet sniffing to get the font and using some API calls to set the font.

This script is possible to make but I don't think anyone will do it because all of the really good script developers who would be able to do this can't be bothered to make such a script because there is no real purpose other than a little fun.  If you take a look around in the scripts database and look at scripts that the likes of -dt-, Matty, CookieRevised, etc. have made, there are very practical applications for them where this is entirely for a 2 second laugh.

But there are some many other scripts that are less useful than a Imitate script.

I think a dev could do it as a challenge for himself. Maybe using Xniff (as you said packet sniffing is required) could be the key.
