Adding tests ============ You can test shaping of a unicode sequence against a font like this: ```sh $ ./hb-unicode-encode 41 42 43 627 | ../../util/hb-shape font.ttf ``` assuming an in-tree build. The 41 42 43 627 here is a sequence of Unicode codepoints: U+0041,0042,0043,0627. When you are happy with the shape results, you can use the `record-test.sh` script to add this to the test suite. `record-test.sh` requires `pyftsubset` to be installed. You can get `pyftsubset` by installing FontTools from . To use `record-test.sh`, just put it right before the `hb-shape` invocation: ```sh $ ./hb-unicode-encode 41 42 43 627 | ./record-test.sh ../../util/hb-shape font.ttf ``` what this does is: * Subset the font for the sequence of Unicode characters requested, * Compare the `hb-shape` output of the original font versus the subset font for the input sequence, * If the outputs differ, perhaps it is because the font does not have glyph names; it then compares the output of `hb-view` for both fonts. * If the outputs differ, recording fails. Otherwise, it will move the subset font file into `fonts/sha1sum` and name it after its hash, and prints out the test case input, which you can then redirect to an existing or new test file in `tests`, eg.: ```sh $ ./hb-unicode-encode 41 42 43 627 | ./record-test.sh ../../util/hb-shape font.ttf >> tests/test-name.test ``` If you created a new test file, add it to `Makefile.am` so it is run. Check that `make check` does indeed run it, and that the test passes. When everything looks good, `git add` the new font as well as new test file if you created any. You can see what new files are there by running `git status tests fonts/sha1sum`. And commit! *Note!* Please only add tests using Open Source fonts, preferably under OFL or similar license.
