Font test phrases
MicroPress, Inc.
[Test phrases are short phrases that use all the letters
appropriate for a given language; for example, An example of
an English test phrase would be
"A brown quick fox jumps over the lazy dog".
A test phrase for German (pangramm), for example, would include
umlaut'ed letters.]
We would very much appreciate donations of such test phrases
in other languages based on Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek alphabets.
[especially the languages other than English/German/French].
Thank you very much,

These are called abcedariums and or pangrams in english, and abicidario in
Italian....
Here's a post from typo-l by ger...@spracherkennung.com You can verify this
from the TYPO-L archives.
The very last one is especially interesting since it's by Prof. Hermann Zapf
and works as an abcedarium in both English and German
Let me know if you want more, I was working hard at collecting them at one
time, and even composed one of my own for use in a broadside once (that
broadside is available as a .pdf on my web page,
<http://members.aol.com/willadams> ``Typography Matters''), which was
especially hard since I was trying for one which would include all normal
ligatures and diphthongs as well as letters. Not sure If I'm willing to donate
that though---contact me regarding what this is for if it interests you.
Similarly, where the provenance is provided below, you'll need to contact the
authors for permission, I can't grant it.

In Windows control panel / fonts, font samples are presented with such a
phrase, using the language the OS was installed in. So it should be
sufficient to install Windows in various languages... If you've got the MS
Windows SDK, you've got all the required CDs, I think.
Enjoy it...

Same thing when installing Adobe Type Manager in various languages.

But this does not give you *all* the characters by any means (the French
you quote has only a-grave and e-grave on top of the standard Roman
set). And then you really want all ligatures as well; and ideally
significant kerning pairs...

True.
However, the original posting was not so demanding: just pangrams, no
ligature, no kerning. (Granted, non of my suggestion are pangrams either.)
I think that if you also want to include ligatures and significant kerning
pairs, you will probably end up with more than just a single phrase. (Maybe
a whole paragraph. In which case, it will not fit on a single line and you
may just as well add hyphenation and justification to your wish list... ).
Depending on what is to be achieved, there may be simpler way of getting
test cases. In particular, if you don't need to have meaningfull sentences,
you can probably just aggregate as many words as needed to cover all
interesting cases.

: a whole paragraph. In which case, it will not fit on a single line and you
: may just as well add hyphenation and justification to your wish list... ).
Which makes more sense anyways. A single line might be adequate for
novelty faces, but for text fonts, you really need at least a paragraph
to get a sense of the overall texture of the face. Unfortunately, many
catalogues only provide a single line, and even those which provide a
longer block of text often use poorly chosen text (missing letters,
missing common pairs, etc.).
If anyone knows of a good test paragraph or passage, which includes all
characters, as well as common ligature and kerning pairs), I'd appreciate
it if you would share it.

Here is a passage used as a trial page by W.A. Dwiggins in "WAD to RR: A
letter about designing Type," Harvard College Library, Cambridge, 1940.
[RR is Robert Ruzicka.]
In the following rendition I'm using underscores to indicate _italics_
in the original. Note that the passage was set with a partial font,
lacking the italic c, k, and v thorugh z; I think most of the caps--both
roman and italic--are also missing; so some words may seem odd to you
Latin scholars out there. (At least it looks like Latin to me<g>,
although I suspect some nonsense was thrown in to show letter
combinations that otherwise would not be there.)
The passage is set as a solid justified block, starting and ending
flush.

It just accured to me that while this is the sentence used by
FONTVIEW.EXE, it does not in fact show all the characters used in Dutch;
there should also be umlauted a, e, i, o and u (for words like zoologie,
where the second o would be o-umlaut) and e-acute, o-acute... (example:
"een" means "a", but with accents on both e's it means "one"; also "voor"
= "for" but accents may be used to change the meaning to "before",
although only the e-acute is really common in regular text)
Don't know whether there's a standard line that includes all these
characters.
Marc.
Ch...@cter.s
coöperation and zoölogy is a dieresis, rather than an umlaut — but they
sure LOOK the same :) The difference, I believe, is that a dieresis
creates another syllable, while an umlaut defines a letters
pronuncation.
