Web Fonts: No MIME Types, No Problem
In a previous post, Correct MIME Type for CSS Web Fonts, I discussed the lack of official, standards-based MIME types for various web fonts.
In the 18 months since then, the state of MIME types for web fonts largely remains the same:
Because there are no defined MIME types for TrueType, OpenType, and WOFF fonts, the MIME type of the file specified is not considered.
