What is the layout demo?</h2>
|
|
The layout demo displays a paragraph of text that is laid out using the
|
|
LayoutEngine. There are two versions of this demo, "layout.exe" which runs
|
|
on Windows 2000, and "gnomelayout" which runs on Linux. Both programs read
|
|
a file containing the Unicode text to display, and a file that says which
|
|
font to use to display each script.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<h2>
|
|
How do I build the layout demo?</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>On Linux 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>To build the demo on Windows, just open the layout project in <icu>\source\samples\layout
|
|
and build it. On Linux systems, connect to <top-build-dir>/samples/layout
|
|
and do "make all"
|
|
<br>
|
|
<h2>
|
|
How do I run the demo?</h2>
|
|
Before you can run the demo, you'll need to get the fonts it uses. For
|
|
legal reasons, we can't include these fonts with ICU, but you can get them
|
|
for free 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://www7b.boulder.ibm.com/wsdd/wspvtindex.html">IBM
|
|
WebSphere preview technologies</a> page. From this page, follow the "Download"
|
|
link on the right had side. You'll need to register with them if you haven't
|
|
downloaded before. Download and install the "Runtime Environment Package."
|
|
You'll need three 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 "Devamt.ttf" "LucidaSansRegular.ttf" and "Thonburi.ttf"
|
|
On Windows, copy these font files to your Fonts folder, on LInux, copy
|
|
these font files to the directory from which you'll run the layout demo.
|
|
<p>There's still one more font to get. Go to the Microsoft <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fontpack/default.htm">TrueType
|
|
core fonts for the Web</a> page and download the "Times New Roman" font.
|
|
This will download an installer program, called "Times32.exe" which will
|
|
install the Times New Roman fonts in your fonts folder. (If you've already
|
|
got these fonts in you fonts folder, you may want to move them to another
|
|
folder before you install these fonts.)
|
|
<p>NOTE: this installer will display an End User License Agreement (EULA)
|
|
which you must accept before proceeding. Be sure that you read and understand
|
|
this agreement before you install the font.
|
|
<p>After you run the installer program, it will add the Times Roman fonts
|
|
to your fonts folder. If you're going to run the demo on Linux, open the
|
|
Fonts folder and copy the "Times New Roman" font (the file name will be
|
|
"Times.TTF") to the directory from which you'll run the demo.
|
|
<p>That's it! Now all you have to do is run letest (CTRL+F5 in Visual C++,
|
|
or "./gnomelayout" in Linux)
|
|
<h2>
|
|
How can I customize the layout demo?</h2>
|
|
The text that the layout demo displays is read from the file "Sample.txt."
|
|
You can change the text by editing this file using a Unicode-aware text
|
|
editor. (it is in UTF8 format with a BOM as the first character; the demo
|
|
can also read UTF16 and UTF32 format files) Remember that the text will
|
|
be displayed in a single paragraph; you can include CR and LF characters
|
|
in the text, but they will be ignored.
|
|
<p>If you add scripts to the text other than Arabic, Devanagari, Latin
|
|
or Thai, you'll need to find a font which contains the characters in that
|
|
script, and add an entry to the FontMap file ("FontMap.GDI" on Windows,
|
|
"FontMap.Gnome" on Linux) This file contains a single entry per line. Each
|
|
entry contains a script name followed by a colon, and then a font name.
|
|
<p>Here is the list of legal script names:
|
|
<blockquote><tt>ARABIC</tt>

On Windows use the full name of the font as it appears in the Windows Fonts
|
|
folder (eg. "Times New Roman") On Linux, use the file name of the font
|
|
file (e.g. "Times.TTF") If you're running on Windows, you'll need to install
|
|
the new fonts in your Fonts folder. If you're running on Linux, put them
|
|
in the directory from which you'll run the demo.
