A Python library for generating text with a limited character set, with type proofing in mind

When designing a new typeface, you often need to generate sample text that only uses the characters you've already drawn. This tool helps you create realistic-looking filler text (proofing text) using only your available glyphs, making sure your typeface is properly tested. It takes a list of your drawn characters and outputs sentences composed solely of those characters, perfect for type designers and font developers.

Use this if you need to quickly generate proofing text for a new font that strictly adheres to a limited set of available characters, without worrying about missing glyphs.

Not ideal if you need perfectly grammatically correct or semantically meaningful sentences, as its primary goal is to generate text with a realistic visual 'shape' rather than perfect prose.
