Does anyone know of a text (or pseudo-text) generator where you can limit the character set (to some subset of the Latin alphabet, that is)?
(The problem with taking a full character set text and deleting unwanted letters is that you quickly end up with too many short or even one letter words, so the result doesn't have the pattern of an actual text.)

Miguel Sousa constructed this one. If you click on Options, you can change scripts even.
I've coded a somewhat related CLI script that you feed UFO and TXT files and it outputs strings of specific length, ideal for finding those nice specimen words of different weights with same font size and length. Aside from reading the available glyphs from the UFO and filtering the possible words by that it also has options for excluding / including letters and letter combinations.
