I never knew that.
Alright, I've learned my one thing for today. I'm mentally checking out until tomorrow.
I used to work at a small town newspaper (the What Cheer Paper out of What Cheer, Iowa) and we also did custom printing. The guy that ran the paper, Chuck, was a bit of a type/font nerd. He had dozens or possibly hundreds of different fonts in boxes in the basement of the paper office. Every box had the name of the font written in Times New Roman at the top and that sentence written in the font contained in the box at the bottom. Good times.
I'll throw some more learnin' at ya.
If you are running XP (We still are at work, I'm sure its the same in Win7) go to C:\Windows\Fonts and open any of the font files. (double click)
you will see that sentence in a variety of sizes for each font.
betcha didn't know that!

Ok, I knew the meaning of the sentence but I didn't know this. Thanks for the interesting tidbit!
Typing (and re-typing) that sentence was a common practice exercise... in Typing Class. (Yes. At one time students were taught keyboarding skills in school.)
As mentioned previously, the sentence uses all the letters in the alphabet.

In older versions of Microsoft Word you could type
=rand(#)
in an empty document and get that many paragraphs (whatever number you specified) worth of that sentence. Was an easy way to test document issues in a new document without having to actually type text.
Looks like this text has been changed sometime around Word 2007.
