+@section Testing LilyPond
+
+@html
+<a name="testing"></a>
+@end html
+
+LilyPond comes with an extensive suite that excercises the entire
+program. This suite can be used to automatically check the impact of a
+change. This is done as follows
+
+@example
+ make test-baseline
+ @emph{## apply your changes, compile}
+ make check
+@end example
+
+This will leave an HTML page @file{out/test-results/index.html}. This
+page shows all the important differences that your change introduced,
+whether in the layout, MIDI, performance or error reporting.
+
+To rerun tests, use
+
+@example
+ make test-redo @emph{## redo files differing from baseline}
+ make test-clean @emph{## remove all test results}
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+and then run @code{make check} again.
+
+For tracking memory usage as part of this test, you will need GUILE
+CVS; especially the following patch:
+@uref{http://lilypond.org/vc/gub.darcs/patches/guile-1.9-gcstats.patch}.
+
+For checking the coverage of the test suite, do the following
+
+@example
+ ./buildscripts/build-coverage.sh
+ @emph{# uncovered files, least covered first}
+ python ./buildscripts/coverage.py --summary out-cov/*.cc
+ @emph{# consecutive uncovered lines, longest first}
+ python ./buildscripts/coverage.py --uncovered out-cov/*.cc
+@end example

+To use system fonts, dejaview must be installed. With the default
+port, the fonts are installed in @file{usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/dejavu}.
+
+Open the file @file{$LILYPONDBASE/usr/etc/fonts/local.conf} and add the
+following line just after the @code{<fontconfig>} line. (Adjust as necessary
+for your hierarchy.)
+
+@example

+
+@section International fonts
+
+On MacOs X, all fonts are installed by default. However, finding all
+system fonts requires a bit of configuration; see
+@uref{http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-03/msg00472.html,
+this post} on the @code{lilypond-user} mailing list.
+
+On Linux, international fonts are installed by different means on
+every distribution. We cannot list the exact commands or packages
+that are necessary, as each distribution is different, and the exact
+package names within each distribution changes. Here are some
+hints, though:
+
+@verbatim
+Red Hat Fedora
+
+ taipeifonts fonts-xorg-truetype ttfonts-ja fonts-arabic \
+ ttfonts-zh_CN fonts-ja fonts-hebrew
+
+Debian GNU/Linux
+
+ apt-get install emacs-intl-fonts xfonts-intl-.* \
+ ttf-kochi-gothic ttf-kochi-mincho \
+ xfonts-bolkhov-75dpi xfonts-cronyx-100dpi xfonts-cronyx-75dpi
