           Summary: Adding EOT Font Rendering capability along the 'GDI
                    olny' path
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Layout and Rendering

This patch is to provide 'EOT' (Embedded open Type) font rendering capability
to Webkit along the "GDI only" path in Windows. There are a significant number
of regional language sites (in India and some other countries) which uses EOT
fonts for native characters (They don't use Unicode, they use non-unicode plain
ASCII fonts with glyphs rendering native characters instead of standard ASCII
characters). Without the support for EOT fonts,these sites will not be
'readable'.
