I seem to recall that there is some "traditional" sample of text that
is often used to evaluate kerning, letter design, etc.  I think it 
began with the letters "hamburgefons..." (don't laugh, I did!).  Can
someone clue me in on the full text, and any other samples that have
proven useful (aside from the pathological stuff like "AV," "To," 
etc.)?

Apologies if this is a dumb question, I'm not a type designer and am
posting this for an associate.  Thanx in advance for any info.
