There's a TeX file whithin your texlive distribution (Debian's TeX comes as
texlive these days) called fontsmpl.tex:

  /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/tools/fontsmpl.tex

Its documentation is in

  /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/latex/tools/fontsmpl.pdf

provided you've installed the texlive-latex-base-doc package. Otherwise
you can access that online e.g. here:

  http://texdoc.net/texmf-dist/doc/latex/tools/fontsmpl.pdf

Perhaps this is what you're looking for?

Cheers
