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

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

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