[finder] failure of the quick brown fox
Nov. 15th, 2004 12:26 pmYears ago, as I browsed some airplane publication intended for airplane
people ("our small country is the perfect tax haven for your business"
ads &c.) a company offered to make a font out of my very own handwriting
for me. They wanted $150 in return, though, which seemed a bit familiar
of them (considering that we had only just met). I was forced to decline
the offer, both because I don't have $150 to give to a page in a
magazine and because I had already gotten something more valuable than a
font out of it: the list of words you had to carefully write in your own
handwriting for them to generate the font from. Here it is:

On second thought, maybe I just didn't want to send my money to anyone trafficking in jewfishes and hydrodykes.
