Yes, of course.  I used Font Harmony when making up the suitcases.

?? It sure seems isomorphic to random.  It is not RANDOM only in the sense
that it insures non-conflict with other FOND ids.

I didn't renumber the family ID or the FONTs, since Font Harmony changed
everything to NFNTs, which certainly don't need to be renumbered.
