What text do you like to use when testing spacing, color, etc?
I've been setting a selection of pangrams, and then if there's a specific letter combo I want to check out, I'll think of a few words that use it. I'm curious what other folks do, though — is there a standard text that you like to use?

I have seen Stempel / Linotype, ITC, Typoart, URW and Scangraphic using this method as one of their basic standards. But that is nothing new. Writing masters like Johann Neudörffer already showed this in the 16th century. I think he got this from the type founders he was used to work with.

This will give you a good start and tell you if the color is right as well, and the width.
