Filler text

As dummy text text is called, the one used in the design of publications if the actual text is not yet available.

Use

With the help of the dummy-content distribution of text on the page (layout or type area) as well as readability and space requirements of the used fonts ( typography) can be assessed. It consists of a more or less meaningless string of words, often just from word -like syllables. A well-known example is the " Latin " Lorem ipsum. Composer of songs using blind texts in composing melodies and sing them before the lyrics are sealed.

Other texts are used to compare the characteristics of fonts together. In such Pangrammen possible, all letters and special characters of each language-specific alphabet may be used with the smallest possible total length of the sentence or of sentences. Well-known examples are:

  • " Quick brown fox completely dilapidated taxi across Bavaria. " (Known from the font display of Microsoft Windows)
  • "Wrong practicing of xylophone music tortures every larger dwarf. " (Known from the font display of KDE)
  • " The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" ( English for " The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" )
  • " Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz. " ( Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz)
  • "Twelve a boxer chasing Viktor across the great Sylt dike "
  • " The hot Cyprus sun tormented Max and Victoria so bad on the way to the coast "
  • » Fix Schwyz! Jürgen squawks stupid from the pass "( this phrase is the only known in the German real pangram, containing each letter, including umlauts and the ß, exactly once ( according to the new spelling is, however, " pass "with" ss "is written ) )

However, it goes even shorter: Specimen words like " Hamburgefonts " represent the character of a font is, without using the whole alphabet.
