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.
-(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.)
-
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.
-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"
-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"

Download the 1.3 version of the JDK from the IBM developerWorks Java technology zone
-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.
-
Next is the Hindi font. Go to the NCST site and download
-raghu.ttf. Be sure to look at the README
-file before you download the font. You can download raghu.ttf into the
-directory from which you'll run letest.
-
There's still one more font to get, the Code2000 Unicode font.Go to
-James Kass' Unicode
-Support In Your Browser 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.
-
Note: 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.
-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:
-Test 0, font = raghu.ttf... passed.+file letest.xml which contains the test cases. 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. +
- Test 1, font = CODE2000.TTF... passed.
- Test 2, font = LucidaSansRegular.ttf... passed.
- Test 3, font = Thonburi.ttf... passed.
(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 letest.xml, and then letest is run on Windows to verify
+that letest still works with the new data.)
On Windows, letest is part of the allinone project, so a normal
+build of ICU will also build letest. On UNIX systems, connect to
+<top-build-dir>/test/letest and do "make all" .
Download a recent version of the Java 2 Platform, Standard
+Edition (J2SE) from java.sun.com.
+Click on the "Download" button for the version of Java that you
+want to download. The page offers both JDKs and JREs. (The JRE is
+sufficient for letest.) The download page will have a link to the
+license agreement. Be sure to read and understand the license
+agreement, and then click on the Accept button. Download the
+package and install it. You'll need one font. On Windows, it will
+be in, for example, "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\jre\lib\fonts".
+The file you want is "LucidaSansRegular.ttf". Copy this file into
+the directory from which you'll run letest.
Next is the Hindi font. Go to the NCST site and download
+raghu.ttf.
+When you hit the DOWNLOAD button on the page, it will open another
+window which contains a disclaimer and a license agreement. Be sure
+that you understand and agree to all of this before you download
+the font. You can download raghu.ttf into the directory from which
+you'll run letest.
Then download the Thai font. Go to into-asia.com
+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.

+letest.xml references three other fonts:
+/+If letest cannot open a font, it will print a warning message and +skip the test. letest will also check the version of the font you +have to make sure it's the same one that was used to generate the +test case. If the version doesn't match, letest will print a +warning message and proceed with the test.
