 | <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 a recent version of the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition | 
 | (J2SE) from <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se.index.jsp">java.sun.com</a>. | 
 | From this page, follow the link for the version you want to download, | 
 | and then select the "Downloads" link on the left side of the page. | 
 | Select either the SDK or the JRE. (The JRE is sufficient for letest.) | 
 | Read the license agreement and click on "Accept" if you agree. This | 
 | will take you to the actual download page. Download the package and | 
 | install it. You'll need one font. On Windows, it will be in, for | 
 | example, "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_06/jre/lib/fonts. The file you want is | 
 | "LucidaSansRegular.ttf". Copy this file into 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>Then download the Thai font. Go to <a | 
 |  href="http://www.into-asia.com/thai_language/thaifont/">into-asia.com</a> | 
 | and click on the link for the Angsana font. This will download a .ZIP | 
 | file. Extract the font file, angsd___.ttf, into the directory from | 
 | which you will 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 = angsd___.ttf... passed.</tt></blockquote> |
