There may be such a word processor with that feature, but I haven't
heard of it (but then I haven't been looking :-).

A solution to your need may be to edit an existing font, making it
the inverse of what it was originally was.  Then of course you could
use any word processor you preferred.

Let's see.  ResEdit can edit bit-map fonts, but there are better ones
available.  Fontographer (my memory is not clear here) can edit
Postscript fonts.

good luck!
