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