<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

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

<p>To build letest on Windows, just open the letest project in

<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
+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>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>
+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
