+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. |
