+Sanitiser for OpenType
+----------------------
+
+(Idea from Alex Russell)
+
+The CSS font-face property[1] is great for web typography. Having to use images
+in order to get the correct typeface is a great sadness; one should be able to
+use vectors.
+
+However, the TrueType renderers on many platforms have never been part of the
+attack surface before and putting them on the front line is a scary proposition.
+Esp on platforms like Windows where it's a closed-source blob running with high
+privilege.
+
+Thus, the OpenType Sanitiser (OTS) is designed to parse and serialise OpenType
+files, validating them and sanitising them as it goes.
+
+
+See INSTALL for build instructions.
