Paul Sladen (sladen) wrote : Arrange corpus for monospace testing

Collate a good corpus of texts for on-screen Ubuntu Monospace testing; this should show:

  single and double width CJK usage
  text-based email
  shell
  ssh/command-line sessions

On-screen the font is more commonly used gray-on-black, instead of black-on-white, and a good proportion of the samples need to show this.

Easiest format is probably going to be HTML, possibly with some grotesque table hacks to show double-width CJK on a correct grid.

More information about which codepoints end up double-width can be found in:
