| 2 | ---------------------- |

| 6 | The CSS font-face property[1] is great for web typography. Having to use images |
| 7 | in order to get the correct typeface is a great sadness; one should be able to |
| 8 | use vectors. |

| 10 | However, the TrueType renderers on many platforms have never been part of the |
| 11 | attack surface before and putting them on the front line is a scary proposition. |
| 12 | Esp on platforms like Windows where it's a closed-source blob running with high |
| 13 | privilege. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Thus, the OpenType Sanitiser (OTS) is designed to parse and serialise OpenType |
| 16 | files, validating them and sanitising them as it goes. |

| 20 | The included ots.gyp file is for building within the Chromium only. In the |
| 21 | test/ directory you'll find a SConstruct file which can be used with scons to |
| 22 | build a standalone version. |
