There is a TeX file (plain) around that is called FNTBL.TEX that does exactly what you describe. It prints a font/page in the scheme the TeXbook does with the standard CMR10 font somewhere in the Appendix. And then it prints a small text (with no-math fonts, of course). Works rather well and should be available on a TeX server near you (or isn't it even on the standard distribution? I don't know! it just hangs there in my TeX:inputs directory). //konrad +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ As I'm not working for anybody, I can't be representing their opinion!

You are exactly right. I fiddled through the TeX distribution and found it in some bizarre directory - don't remember quite which one - but it will suit my purpose admirably.

The standard file along these lines is testfont.tex. It is part of the standard TeX distribution and if for some reason you can't find it, it is listed in Appendix H of the METAFONTbook. -dh --- Don Hosek TeX, LaTeX, and Metafont Consulting and dhosek@ymir.claremont.edu production work.
