|
| +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.
