I am font hunting again
-
Hi, it's me, your Gothic Demon
-
I don't need to, there were several alternatives on Wikipedia:
- Yxmördaren Julia Blomqvist pÄ fÀktning i Schweiz
- Schweiz för lyxfjÀder pÄ qvist bakom ugn
- FAQ om Schweiz: Klöv du trÄng pjÀxby? - this is an incomprehensible sentence, though it must be said, it does sound Swedish when spoken.
- Yxskaftbud, ge vÄr WC-zonmö IQ-hjÀlp - this is also incomprehensible, plus the first word seems to be misspelled, it should be "Yxskaftsbud", the missing s makes it hard to pronounce
- Gud hjÀlpe Zorns mö qwickt fÄ byx av - a sentence with old spellings and words, and rather naughty meaning, this sentence also misses the letter V, in the past when w and v could be used interchangeably it would be a proper pangram.
- ByxfjÀrmat föl gick pÄ duvshowen - misses Q and Z, but has the combinations fj and fö, which is very useful to test fonts for Swedish compabillity.
- Tjock ges BMW pÄ quiz, hÀnförd av lyx - one of the best pangrams here, it contains every letter and, even better, is perfectly logical.
I checked the same Wiki and I think no one can beat Finland's one-word pangram: TörkylempijÀvongahdus ("the more you think, the more you'll be able to do it")

In France, we have "Portez ce vieux whisky au juge blond qui fume" ("Bring that old whiskey to the blond smoking judge") and I find it really... french since we manage to put alcohol and tobacco in an alexandrine just to make a pangram.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]It's an imperfect one as it's missing all the accented characters. Given the state of some fonts, you really want to test those, especially upper case ones.

Hi, it's me, your Gothic Demon
So just for posterity how many times do I have to say it before it works?

"Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz."

I've never seen a fox in daily life either. Might as well be the same as a sphinx if that's the bar.
You're missing out. Foxes are great.

The hungry purple dinosaur ate the kind, zingy fox, the jabbering crab, and the mad whale and started vending and quacking.

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.

âYellow the goose selfâ?
I think my translator is hallucinating again
Edit: and if not, thatâs a dope metalcore band name
How in touch are you with your gooseself?

contains all the 27 letters of the english alphabet: a-z and '
But where's the love?

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

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?

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
