| <h2> What are letest and gendata?</h2> |
| letest is a program you can use to verify that you have built and |
| installed the ICU LayoutEngine correctly. The test is not comprehensive, |
| it just verifies that the results of laying out some Devanagari, Arabic |
| and Thai text are as expected. Once this test has passed, you can use |
| the ICU LayoutEngine in your application knowing that it has been |
| correctly installed and that the basic functionality is in place. |
| <p>gendata is a program that is used by the ICU team to build the |
| source file testdata.cpp, which contains the expected results of running |
| letest. Unless you have changed your copy of the LayoutEngine and want |
| to validate the changes on other platforms, there's no reason for you |
| to run this program. </p> |
| <p>(The ICU team first runs a Windows application which uses the ICU |
| LayoutEngine to display the text that letest uses. Once it has been |
| verified that the text is displayed correctly, gendata is run to produce |
| testdata.cpp, and then letest is run on Windows to verify that letest |
| still works with the new data.) <br> |
| </p> |
| <h2> How do I build letest?</h2> |
| First, you need to build ICU, including the LayoutEngine. |
| <p>On Windows, the layout project should be listed as a dependency of |
| all, so layout will build when you build all. If it doesn't for some |
| reason, just select the layout project in the project toolbar and build |
| it. </p> |
| <p>On UNIX systems, you need to add the "--enable-layout=yes" option |
| when you invoke the runConfigureICU script. When you've done that, |
| layout should build when you do "make all install" </p> |
| <p>To build letest on Windows, just open the letest project in |
| <icu>\source\test\letest and build it. On UNIX systems, connect to |
| <top-build-dir>/test/letest and do "make all" <br> |
| </p> |
| <h2> How do I run letest?</h2> |
| Before you can run letest, you'll need to get the fonts it uses. For |
| legal reasons, we can't include them with ICU, but you can download them |
| from the web. To do this, you'll need access to a computer running |
| Windows. Here's how to get the fonts: |
| <p>Download the 1.3 version of the JDK from the<a |
| href="http://www.ibm.com/java"> IBM developerWorks Java technology zone</a> |
| page. From this page, follow the "Tools and products" link on the left |
| hand side, and then the link for the "IBM Developer Kit for Linux", or |
| the "IBM Developer Kit for Windows(R), Release 1.3.0". You'll need to |
| register with them if you haven't downloaded before. Download and |
| install the "Runtime Environment Package." You'll need two fonts from |
| this package. If you've let the installer use it's defaults, the fonts |
| will be in C:\Program Files\IBM\Java13\jre\lib\fonts. The files you want |
| are "LucidaSansRegular.ttf" and "Thonburi.ttf" Copy these font files to |
| the directory from which you'll run letest.<br> |
| </p> |
| <p>Next is the Hindi font. Go to the NCST site and download <a |
| href="http://rohini.ncst.ernet.in/indix/download/font/raghu.ttf"> |
| raghu.ttf</a>. Be sure to look at the <a |
| href="http://rohini.ncst.ernet.in/indix/download/font/README"> README</a> |
| file before you download the font. You can download raghu.ttf into the |
| directory from which you'll run letest.<br> |
| </p> |
| <p>There's still one more font to get, the Code2000 Unicode font.Go to |
| James Kass' <a href="http://home.att.net/%7Ejameskass/">Unicode |
| Support In Your Browser</a> page and click on the link that says "Click |
| Here to download Code2000 shareware demo Unicode font." This will |
| download a .ZIP file which contains CODE2000.TTF and CODE2000.HTM. |
| Expand this .ZIP file and put the CODE2000.TTF file in the directory |
| from which you'll run letest.<br> |
| </p> |
| <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Note:</span> The Code2000 font is |
| shareware. If you want to use it for longer than a trial period, you |
| should send a shareware fee to James. Directions for how to do this are |
| in CODE2000.HTM.</p> |
| <p>That's it! Now all you have to do is run letest (CTRL+F5 in Visual |
| C++, or "./letest" in UNIX) If everything's OK you should see |
| something like this: </p> |
| <blockquote><tt>Test 0, font = raghu.ttf... passed.</tt> <br> |
| <tt>Test 1, font = CODE2000.TTF... passed.</tt> <br> |
| <tt>Test 2, font = LucidaSansRegular.ttf... passed.</tt> <br> |
| <tt>Test 3, font = Thonburi.ttf... passed.</tt></blockquote> |
