Re: [icu-support] Testing a shaping engine

[Eric M. <ma...@jt...>]

Hi Emil,

On Windows and Linux, you can use the LayoutEngine sample at=20
<icu>/source/samples/layout

There is also the letest program (<icu>/source/test/letest) but that=20
really only works as a regression test - it compares current=20
LayoutEngine output against a trusted, canned set of output.

If you'd like to contribute your Syriac code to ICU once you've got it=20
working, contact me off-list, and we can work out the details.
