I am font hunting again

Well, jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz. So there.
My sphinx of black quartz brings all the jackdaws to the yard

I checked the same Wiki and I think no one can beat Finland's one-word pangram: Törkylempijävongahdus ("the more you think, the more you'll be able to do it")
That translation is way off, it would be more like "the yelp of a trashy lover".

Cool, thanks! I wonder where Google Translate got the other idea from.

I said that phrase and summoned a Gothic Demon
I tried this, Odin is throwing rocks at me now. If I try to kill him do I go to Valhalla or Hel?

qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm is my favorite word

It's easier to remember?
I mean, I'm not going to discount the cool factor of the alternative, but I already forget what it is. Meanwhile the quick brown fox has been stuck in my head for years after only hearing of it a couple of times at most.
Not me. I can never remember it. Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow feels like a declaration a wizard would make with his dying breath. I don't think I'll forget it soon.

It doesn't have the same flow.

You missed an S

erm, it's "jumps" over the lazy dog, not "jumped".
That makes more sense as the phrase posted on the original image is missing an S

Because you've seen it repeatedly over years and years of time

Either you never had to take typing, never had to change your font, or just weren't very observant. I've seen that phrase hundreds of times over the decades. Hell, I remember having to type the stupid phrase repeatedly in typing class back in the day.
'Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow' is much cooler and more memorable, just from one read.

So just for posterity how many times do I have to say it before it works?
I tried 666 times and still didnt work. Very sad day.

One letter shorter (28) and you've got "Waltz, bad nymph, for quick jigs vex!" I prefer that to the 27 letter "Quick nymph bugs vex fjord waltz."
And the only couple perfect pangrams listed are "Mr. Jock, TV quiz PhD, bags few lynx." or "Cwm fjord-bank glyphs vext quiz" (which even given the obscure words seems like it's missing an article before quiz).

I took typing in highschool. We did exercises about the letters and their placement in a QWERTY layout. "Quick ask Zoe, why stop X-rays, even dogs can't..." Fucking lodged in my brain still, even over two decades later.
That's right. I've been using computers since the early 90's. I'm old. I predate this phrase being popular. It still only took a couple of times seeing it, for it to be permanently lodged in my brain, just like asking Zoe quickly.
