\begin{document}
\maketitle
This provides a short test of the characters in the \thisfont{} fonts
--- the \verb|copsn| font family.
\begin{center}
The \thisfont{} font in the huge size \\
{\copsnfamily\huge \abc\\ 1 2 3 4 5}
\end{center}
\begin{center}
The font in its normal size \\
\textcopsn{\abc\\ 1 2 3 4 5} \\
and the Computer Modern Roman for comparison \\
\abc\\ 1 2 10 20 100
\end{center}
\thisfont{} in the \thisfont{} script is (as near as possible): \\
\textcopsn{ld:persian}, which transliterates as: \\
\translitcopsn{\Ola\Oda\Owd\Opa\Ora\Osa\Oi\Oa\Ona}
\clearpage
Xerxes had this inscription carved above the doorways of his palace at
Persepolis:
\begin{center}
\textcopsn{\xerxes}
\end{center}
which transliterates as:
\begin{center}
\translitcopsn{\xerxes}
\end{center}
and which, when translated, means:
\begin{center}
Xerxes, the great king, the king of kings, the son of Darius the king,
an Achaemenian.
\end{center}
