This Pair Test was created by Steve Hammond (CompuServe 71233,1475) to let you see how pairs of each letter combination look together. When you create a font, use this pair test to check for white space, for letters that are too heavy or light, misaligned, wrongly sized, or otherwise corrupted. To use, simply import this file into your word processor, change to a larger point size of a font you’re testing. Enjoy! Your comments are much appreciated (except on the content of the punctuation test below!). I have designed a few fonts myself. “SpredTal” is one that is available on the CompuServe Windows Shareware forum. You can obtain others from me, including a RomicBold look-alike called Roamic, and three different Cyrillic fonts. Let me know via private email if you’d like to “test drive” these. aaabacadaeafagahaiajakalam anaoapaqarasatauavawaxayaz babbbcbdbebfbgbhbibjbkblbm bnbobpbqbrbsbtbubvbwbxbybz cacbcccdcecfcgchcicjckclcm cncocpcqcrcsctcucvcwcxcycz dadbdcdddedfdgdhdidjdkdldm dndodpdqdrdsdtdudvdwdxdydz eaebecedeeefegeheiejekelem eneoepeqereseteuevewexeyez fafbfcfdfefffgfhfifjfkflfm fnfofpfqfrfsftfufvfwfxfyfz gagbgcgdgegfggghgigjgkglgm gngogpgqgrgsgtgugvgwgxgygz hahbhchdhehfhghhhihjhkhlhm hnhohphqhrhshthuhvhwhxhyhz iaibicidieifigihiiijikilim inioipiqirisitiuiviwixiyiz jajbjcjdjejfjgjhjijjjkjljm jnjojpjqjrjsjtjujvjwjxjyjz kakbkckdkekfkgkhkikjkkklkm knkokpkqkrksktkukvkwkxkykz lalblcldlelflglhliljlklllm lnlolplqlrlsltlulvlwlxlylz mambmcmdmemfmgmhmimjmkmlmm mnmompmqmrmsmtmumvmwmxmymz nanbncndnenfngnhninjnknlnm nnnonpnqnrnsntnunvnwnxnynz oaobocodoeofogohoiojokolom onooopoqorosotouovowoxoyoz papbpcpdpepfpgphpipjpkplpm pnpopppqprpsptpupvpwpxpypz qaqbqcqdqeqfqgqhqiqjqkqlqm qnqoqpqqqrqsqtquqvqwqxqyqz rarbrcrdrerfrgrhrirjrkrlrm rnrorprqrrrsrtrurvrwrxryrz sasbscsdsesfsgshsisjskslsm snsospsqsrssstsusvswsxsysz tatbtctdtetftgthtitjtktltm tntotptqtrtstttutvtwtxtytz uaubucudueufuguhuiujukulum unuoupuqurusutuuuvuwuxuyuz vavbvcvdvevfvgvhvivjvkvlvm vnvovpvqvrvsvtvuvvvwvxvyvz wawbwcwdwewfwgwhwiwjwkwlwm wnwowpwqwrwswtwuwvwwwxwywz xaxbxcxdxexfxgxhxixjxkxlxm xnxoxpxqxrxsxtxuxvxwxxxyxz yaybycydyeyfygyhyiyjykylym ynyoypyqyrysytyuyvywyxyyyz zazbzczdzezfzgzhzizjzkzlzm znzozpzqzrzsztzuzvzwzxzyzz AAABACADAEAFAGAHAIAJAKALAM ANAOAPAQARASATAUAVAWAXAYAZ BABBBCBDBEBFBGBHBIBJBKBLBM BNBOBPBQBRBSBTBUBVBWBXBYBZ CACBCCCDCECFCGCHCICJCKCLCM CNCOCPCQCRCSCTCUCVCWCXCYCZ DADBDCDDDEDFDGDHDIDJDKDLDM DNDODPDQDRDSDTDUDVDWDXDYDZ EAEBECEDEEEFEGEHEIEJEKELEM ENEOEPEQERESETEUEVEWEXEYEZ FAFBFCFDFEFFFGFHFIFJFKFLFM FNFOFPFQFRFSFTFUFVFWFXFYFZ GAGBGCGDGEGFGGGHGIGJGKGLGM GNGOGPGQGRGSGTGUGVGWGXGYGZ HAHBHCHDHEHFHGHHHIHJHKHLHM HNHOHPHQHRHSHTHUHVHWHXHYHZ IAIBICIDIEIFIGIHIIIJIKILIM INIOIPIQIRISITIUIVIWIXIYIZ JAJBJCJDJEJFJGJHJIJJJKJLJM JNJOJPJQJRJSJTJUJVJWJXJYJZ KAKBKCKDKEKFKGKHKIKJKKKLKM KNKOKPKQKRKSKTKUKVKWKXKYKZ LALBLCLDLELFLGLHLILJLKLLLM LNLOLPLQLRLSLTLULVLWLXLYLZ MAMBMCMDMEMFMGMHMIMJMKMLMM MNMOMPMQMRMSMTMUMVMWMXMYMZ NANBNCNDNENFNGNHNINJNKNLNM NNNONPNQNRNSNTNUNVNWNXNYNZ OAOBOCODOEOFOGOHOIOJOKOLOM ONOOOPOQOROSOTOUOVOWOXOYOZ PAPBPCPDPEPFPGPHPIPJPKPLPM PNPOPPPQPRPSPTPUPVPWPXPYPZ QAQBQCQDQEQFQGQHQIQJQKQLQM QNQOQPQQQRQSQTQUQVQWQXQYQZ RARBRCRDRERFRGRHRIRJRKRLRM RNRORPRQRRRSRTRURVRWRXRYRZ SASBSCSDSESFSGSHSISJSKSLSM SNSOSPSQSRSSSTSUSVSWSXSYSZ TATBTCTDTETFTGTHTITJTKTLTM TNTOTPTQTRTSTTTUTVTWTXTYTZ UAUBUCUDUEUFUGUHUIUJUKULUM UNUOUPUQURUSUTUUUVUWUXUYUZ VAVBVCVDVEVFVGVHVIVJVKVLVM VNVOVPVQVRVSVTVUVVVWVXVYVZ WAWBWCWDWEWFWGWHWIWJWKWLWM WNWOWPWQWRWSWTWUWVWWWXWYWZ XAXBXCXDXEXFXGXHXIXJXKXLXM XNXOXPXQXRXSXTXUXVXWXXXYXZ YAYBYCYDYEYFYGYHYIYJYKYLYM YNYOYPYQYRYSYTYUYVYWYXYYYZ ZAZBZCZDZEZFZGZHZIZJZKZLZM ZNZOZPZQZRZSZTZUZVZWZXZYZZ ÀAÁAÂAÃAÄAÅAÆEÈEÉEÊEËE IÌIÍIÎIÏIOÒOÓOÔOÕOÖOØ UÙUÚUÛUÜUNÑNCÇC aàaáaâaãaäaåaæeèeéeêeëe Déjà vu. iìiíiîiïioòoóoôoõoöoøo Grüßen aus Österreich. uùuúuûuüunñncçc ¿Que año esta?

And that from a guy who thinks he’s #1 @ some things, worth at least $10,234,567.89 (£8.3 million) & more if you count the worth + the work - the 75% goofing off in these areas: [PC] computer time, editing C:\Windows\{filename}.ini files, and other entertaining/educational activities. Somehow, I can't get myself to use… well, you know, the caret ^, the bullet •, the tilde ~, the accent grave `, the pipe |, or the _____ (you fill in blank)! That ineptitude + your being forced to read this = a big waste of time—unless it lets you study your fonts. Enough said? That's > or < than what you bargained for. :-)
