I am looking for pangrams to use as sample text when choosing fonts for text in Esperanto. A pangram is a sentence that contains every letter of the alphabet, such as "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" in English.

My favourite is this one because it is easy to remember and it sounds like a natural sentence:

Laŭ Ludoviko Zamenhof bongustas freŝa ĉeĥa manĝaĵo kun spicoj.

You can even get it on a t-shirt.

If you just want to test the Esperanto letters then this single word is also very common:

eĥoŝanĝoĉiuĵaŭde

Vikipedio has a list of others of varying lengths.

I have only ever seen one, but I have actually seen it printed on t-shirts, which makes me belive it is the most well known:

Laŭ Ludoviko Zamenhof bongustas freŝa ĉeĥa manĝaĵo kun spicoj.

"According to Ludwig Zamenhof, fresh Czech food with spices tastes good".
