Fontmatrix User Manual - Preferences - Samples collection

## Samples collection

Fontmatrix ships with a set of sample texts for a number of languages, so that you have something to start with. But if you want to use your own sample texts, you can add them here.

Start with giving the sample text a name by typing it into a filed just below the list of custom sample text and clicking the "+" button. Thenew sample text's caption will appear in the list above. Now go to the text entry field and paste your text, then click the "Save" button. The text will be added to the list of available sample texts in "Display options" tab inside "Sample Text" area.

If you need to remove a custom sample text, choose it in the listbox and click "-" button. This operation cannot be undone.

Just in case you are curious, all sample texts are stored as plain text file in the home directory (which is `~/.Fontmatrix/Samples/` on Linux).
