| 16 <h2>What are letest and gendata?</h2> |
| 17 letest is a test program that you can use to verify the basic |
| 18 functionality of the ICU LayoutEngine. It tests the LayoutEngine's |
| 19 API and reads an XML file that contains test cases to test some of |
| 20 the features of the LayoutEngine. These test cases are not |
| 21 comprehensive, but they do test the most important features of |
| 22 the LayoutEngine. When you have successfully run letest, you |
| 23 can use the ICU LayoutEngine in you application knowing that the |
| 24 basic functionality is working correctly.<br> |
| 25 <p>gendata is a program that is used by the ICU team to build the |
| 26 file letest.xml which contains the test cases. Unless you have |
| 27 changed your copy of the LayoutEngine and want to validate the |
| 28 changes on other platforms, there's no reason for you to run this |
| 29 program.</p> |
| 30 <p>(The ICU team first runs a Windows application which uses the |
| 31 ICU LayoutEngine to display the text that letest uses. Once it has |
| 32 been verified that the text is displayed correctly, gendata is run |
| 33 to produce letest.xml, and then letest is run on Windows to verify |
| 34 that letest still works with the new data.)<br></p> |
| 35 <h2>How do I build letest?</h2> |
| 36 First, you need to build ICU, including the LayoutEngine. |
| 37 <p>On Windows, letest is part of the allinone project, so a normal |
| 38 build of ICU will also build letest. On UNIX systems, connect to |
| 39 <top-build-dir>/test/letest and do "make all" .<br></p> |
| 40 <h2>How do I run letest?</h2> |
| 41 Before you can run letest, you'll need to get the fonts it uses. |
| 42 For legal reasons, we can't include most of them with ICU, but you |
| 43 can download them from the web. To do this, you'll need access to a |
| 44 computer running Windows. All of the fonts should be stored in |
| 45 <icu>/source/test/testdata. Here's how to get the fonts: |
| 46 <p>Download a recent version of the Java 2 Platform, Standard |
| 47 Edition (J2SE) from <a href= |
| 48 "http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.html">java.sun.com</a>. |
| 49 Click on the "Download" button for the version of Java that you |
| 50 want to download. The page offers both JDKs and JREs. (The JRE is |
| 51 sufficient for letest.) The download page will have a link to the |
| 52 license agreement. Be sure to read and understand the license |
| 53 agreement, and then click on the Accept button. Download the |
| 54 package and install it. You'll need one font. On Windows, it will |
| 55 be in, for example, "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\jre\lib\fonts". |
| 56 The file you want is "LucidaSansRegular.ttf". Copy this file into |
| 57 the directory from which you'll run letest.<br></p> |
| 58 <p>Next is the Hindi font. Go to the NCST site and download |
| 59 <a href="http://tdil.mit.gov.in/download/Raghu.htm">raghu.ttf</a>. |
| 60 When you hit the DOWNLOAD button on the page, it will open another |
| 61 window which contains a disclaimer and a license agreement. Be sure |
| 62 that you understand and agree to all of this before you download |
| 63 the font. You can download raghu.ttf into the directory from which |
| 64 you'll run letest.<br></p> |
| 65 <p>Then download the Thai font. Go to <a href= |
| 66 "http://www.into-asia.com/thai_language/thaifont/">into-asia.com</a> |
| 67 and click on the link for the Angsana font. This will download a |
| 68 .ZIP file. Extract the font file, angsd___.ttf, into the directory |
| 69 from which you will run letest.<br></p> |
| 70 <p>There's still one more font to get, the Code2000 Unicode font. |
| 71 Go to James Kass' <a href="http://www.code2000.net/">Unicode |
| 72 Support In Your Browser</a> page and click on the link that says |
| 73 "Click Here to download Code2000 shareware demo Unicode font." This |
| 74 will download a .ZIP file which contains CODE2000.TTF and |
| 75 CODE2000.HTM. Expand this .ZIP file and put the CODE2000.TTF file |
| 76 in the directory from which you'll run letest.<br></p> |
| 77 <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Note:</span> The Code2000 font |
| 78 is shareware. If you want to use it for longer than a trial period, |
| 79 you should send a shareware fee to James. Directions for how to do |
| 80 this are in CODE2000.HTM.</p> |
| 81 <p>letest.xml references three other fonts:</p> |
| 82 <ul> |
| 83 <li>ARIALUNI.TTF is Microsoft's Arial Unicode MS font, which is |
| 84 distributed with Microsoft Office and is licensed only for use on |
| 85 the Windows operating system.</li> |
| 86 <li>Devamt.ttf is a proprietary font which cannot be freely |
| 87 downloaded.</li> |
| 88 <li>TestFont1.otf is included with ICU.</li> |
| 89 </ul> |
| 90 To run letest type CTRL+F5 in Visual Studio, or "make check" in |
| 91 UNIX. If everything's OK you should see something like this: |
| 92 <blockquote><tt> /<br> |
| 93 /api/<br> |
| 94 ---[OK] ---/api/ParameterTest<br> |
| 95 ---[OK] ---/api/FactoryTest<br> |
| 96 /layout/<br> |
| 97 ---[OK] ---/layout/AccessTest<br> |
| 98 ---[OK] ---/layout/DataDrivenTest<br> |
| 99 /c_api/<br> |
| 100 ---[OK] ---/c_api/ParameterTest<br> |
| 101 ---[OK] ---/c_api/FactoryTest<br> |
| 102 /c_layout/<br> |
| 103 ---[OK] ---/c_layout/AccessTest<br> |
| 104 ---[OK] ---/c_layout/DataDrivenTest<br> |
| 105 <br> |
| 106 [All tests passed successfully...]<br> |
| 107 Elapsed Time: 00:00:00.351<br></tt></blockquote> |
| 108 If letest cannot open a font, it will print a warning message and |
| 109 skip the test. letest will also check the version of the font you |
| 110 have to make sure it's the same one that was used to generate the |
| 111 test case. If the version doesn't match, letest will print a |
| 112 warning message and proceed with the test.<br> |
