Khun Jean Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 It is used to layout a page and fill it with random text. Some use an old latin text others use this sentence. This specific sentence uses all the letters of the alfabet and it used to be a good test for typewriters and lithographic machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
