Bug Description
It would be nice if GNOME specimen would be capable of printing A4/Letter specimens of fonts.
A specimen would include:
- Font name
- Font weight
- Copyright info
- Type (OpenType/CFF, Type1, TrueType)
Basically all important metadata.
- Full lowercase and uppercase alphabets including numerals and most common punctionation (at 14pt or something like that)
- A sampletext at different points sizes. (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 18, 24, 48?)
- Maybe single paragarph of lorem ipsum (www.lipsum.com), set at 11pt/13pt.
And _optionally_ a page number
Ideally it would be nice, if GNOME specimen would generate a index of the specimen pages, so specimen books can be easily produced.

Soemthing like this should use templates (or maybe "plugins"), so that it can be customized for e.g. people with other alphabets...
