Why the quick brown fox is still jumping

In this first release of FontParade, a little mistake is in the sample text’s sentence (someone pointed out to me). I have written:

    The quick brown fox jumped over a lazy dog.

The sentence looks right, and is actually grammatically correct. Nonetheless, for the program’s purpose, a better sentence would be:

    The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.

Why the difference matters? Because the second sentence is a pangram, whereas the first one is not.

Pangrams are short coherent sentences which include all the letters of an alphabet. The above is only the most common. By writing the correct sentence, you can see samples for all the letters and no s is missing.
