It tests the LayoutEngine's 21 API and reads an XML file that contains test cases to test some of 22 the features of the LayoutEngine. These test cases are not 23 comprehensive, but they do test the most important features of 24 the LayoutEngine. When you have successfully run letest, you 25 can use the ICU LayoutEngine in you application knowing that the 26 basic functionality is working correctly.<br> 27 <p>gendata is a program that is used by the ICU team to build the 28 file letest.xml which contains the test cases. Unless you have 29 changed your copy of the LayoutEngine and want to validate the 30 changes on other platforms, there's no reason for you to run this 31 program.</p> 32 <p>(The ICU team first runs a Windows application which uses the 33 ICU LayoutEngine to display the text that letest uses. Once it has 34 been verified that the text is displayed correctly, gendata is run 35 to produce letest.xml, and then letest is run on Windows to verify 36 that letest still works with the new data.)<br></p> 37 <h2>How do I build letest?</h2> 38 First, you need to build ICU, including the LayoutEngine. 39 <p>On Windows, letest is part of the allinone project, so a normal 40 build of ICU will also build letest. On UNIX systems, connect to 41 <top-build-dir>/test/letest and do "make all" .<br></p> 42 <h2>How do I run letest?</h2> 43 Before you can run letest, you'll need to get the fonts it uses. 44 For legal reasons, we can't include most of them with ICU, but you 45 can download them from the web. To do this, you'll need access to a 46 computer running Windows. All of the fonts should be stored in 47 <icu>/source/test/testdata. Here's how to get the fonts: 48 <p>Download a recent version of the Java 2 Platform, Standard 49 Edition (J2SE) from <a href= 50 "http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.html">java.sun.com</a>. 51 Click on the "Download" button for the version of Java that you 52 want to download. The page offers both JDKs and JREs. (The JRE is 53 sufficient for letest.) The download page will have a link to the 54 license agreement. Be sure to read and understand the license 55 agreement, and then click on the Accept button. Download the 56 package and install it. You'll need one font. On Windows, it will 57 be in, for example, "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\jre\lib\fonts". 58 The file you want is "LucidaSansRegular.ttf". Copy this file into 59 the directory from which you'll run letest.<br></p> 60 <p>Next is the Hindi font. Go to the NCST site and download 61 <a href="http://tdil.mit.gov.in/download/Raghu.htm">raghu.ttf</a>. 62 When you hit the DOWNLOAD button on the page, it will open another 63 window which contains a disclaimer and a license agreement. Be sure 64 that you understand and agree to all of this before you download 65 the font. You can download raghu.ttf into the directory from which 66 you'll run letest.<br></p> 67 <p>Then download the Thai font. Go to <a href= 68 "http://www.into-asia.com/thai_language/thaifont/">into-asia.com</a> 69 and click on the link for the Angsana font. This will download a 70 .ZIP file. Extract the font file, angsd___.ttf, into the directory 71 from which you will run letest.<br></p> 72 <p>There's still one more font to get, the Code2000 Unicode font. 73 Go to James Kass' <a href="http://www.code2000.net/">Unicode 74 Support In Your Browser</a> page and click on the link that says 75 "Click Here to download Code2000 shareware demo Unicode font." This 76 will download a .ZIP file which contains CODE2000.TTF and 77 CODE2000.HTM. Expand this .ZIP file and put the CODE2000.TTF file 78 in the directory from which you'll run letest.<br></p> 79 <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Note:</span> The Code2000 font 80 is shareware. If you want to use it for longer than a trial period, 81 you should send a shareware fee to James. Directions for how to do 82 this are in CODE2000.HTM.</p> 83 <p>letest.xml references three other fonts:</p> 84 <ul> 85 <li>ARIALUNI.TTF is Microsoft's Arial Unicode MS font, which is 86 distributed with Microsoft Office and is licensed only for use on 87 the Windows operating system.</li> 88 <li>Devamt.ttf is a proprietary font which cannot be freely 89 downloaded.</li> 90 <li>TestFont1.otf is included with ICU.</li> 91 </ul> 92 To run letest type CTRL+F5 in Visual Studio, or "make check" in 93 UNIX. If everything's OK you should see something like this: 94 <blockquote><tt> /<br> 95 /api/<br> 96 ---[OK] ---/api/ParameterTest<br> 97 ---[OK] ---/api/FactoryTest<br> 98 /layout/<br> 99 ---[OK] ---/layout/AccessTest<br> 100 ---[OK] ---/layout/DataDrivenTest<br> 101 /c_api/<br> 102 ---[OK] ---/c_api/ParameterTest<br> 103 ---[OK] ---/c_api/FactoryTest<br> 104 /c_layout/<br> 105 ---[OK] ---/c_layout/AccessTest<br> 106 ---[OK] ---/c_layout/DataDrivenTest<br> 107 <br> 108 [All tests passed successfully...]<br> 109 Elapsed Time: 00:00:00.351<br></tt></blockquote> 110 If letest cannot open a font, it will print a warning message and 111 skip the test. letest will also check the version of the font you 112 have to make sure it's the same one that was used to generate the 113 test case. If the version doesn't match, letest will print a 114 warning message and proceed with the test.<br> 115 </body> 116 </html> 117
