=========================================

Gesso is an extension primarily for Mozilla Firefox that enables 
 advanced text input options offered by Windows within the application.
 
In more technical terms, Gesso is an extension that makes Firefox
 aware of the Text Services Framework (TSF), which became the standard
 texting framework in Windows starting with Windows XP.
 
Although developed with pen input (i.e. Tablet PC) support within
 Firefox in mind, Gesso can also be used for a variety of other 
 advanced text input services including speech recognition.
 
=========================================

A little bit about the name:
 (as an attempt by the programmer to show off and brag)
 
"Gesso" is the Italian word for "chalk," reflecting the extension's
 primary focus of pen-based input support for Firefox. Also when used
 in art, gesso is a primer used to make it easier for painting on a 
 surface. In a similar way, the Gesso extension makes it easier for 
 advanced text input in Firefox. Get it? Have to say, that was clever.
