No, I know that many of those aren't pangrams, but the few that are are somewhat baffling to me.
And, I find it odd that the Wikipedia entry demands citation for the "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." being found in font files, when someone can just view a font file in Windows and see the damned thing. I swear, seeing [citation needed] for obvious things is annoying on that site. |

Most of those aren't pangrams...
Obvious one: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." Anyone who's looked at a font file will know that. |

A pangram is a sentence that uses every letter in the English language at least once. Not amazing, really, but the creepy ones are the self-describing pangrams which contain exactly what the sentence conveys. Like this one:
This Pangram contains four a's, one b, two c's, one d, thirty e's, six f's, five g's, seven h's, eleven i's, one j, one k, two l's, two m's, eighteen n's, fifteen o's, two p's, one q, five r's, twenty-seven s's, eighteen t's, two u's, seven v's, eight w's, two x's, three y's, & one z. Do your counting of the above statement, and you'll find its true. And, it does contain each letter of the alphabet at least once. There are some more here: http://www.satiche.org.uk/satiche/sat-0169.htm It boggles my mind at the ability to create things like this. |
