when i add the mime type to htaccess file, it locks my website and i get the 501 error? any suggestions? Im really trying to add the ttf mime type because safari does yt recognize it fully and thus the font isnt as smooth as it should be.

chrome just added support for not bitching when you use "application/x-woff" for woff.. last week. FYI

Sorry, I forgot the link to the other helpful resource that helped me with this MIME thing: http://annevankesteren.nl/2008/08/font-mime-types

Thank you for this helpful information!

Chrome outputs this when using @font-face: Resource interpreted as font but transferred with MIME type application/octet-stream. Using your information as well as this resource I have found this works added to the .htaccess for font MIME types:

AddType application/vnd.ms-fontobject .eot
AddType font/ttf .ttf
AddType font/otf .otf
