Google Chrome gives warning Resource interpreted as Font but transferred with MIME type application/octet-stream:
google-chrome, playframework-2.0
Solution
Actually, I found the answer:
Some browsers, like Google Chrome, will show this warning when a font is downloaded from a web server that sets an unexpected MIME type for fonts.
For many font types, there is a solution!
Update the configuration for your web server with the following MIME type per font file extension:
.ttf — font/truetype
.otf — font/opentype
.eot — application/vnd.ms-fontobject
.woff — application/x-font-woff
If you are using Apache configuration, you may include the AddType directive for each font type:
AddType application/vnd.ms-fontobject eot AddType font/truetype ttf AddType application/x-font-woff woff AddType font/opentype otf
With a specific MIME type configured per font, and not the generic application/octet-stream MIME type, you should no longer see a warning in your web browser console.
This configuration — while effective for cleaning up your console — does not include the technically correct MIME type for fonts like OTF, TTF, and WOFF. For these font types, an official MIME type has not (yet) been approved. An official type for WOFF — application/font-woff — has been requested.AddType font/opentype otf

Problem
I keep getting this warning Resource interpreted as Font but transferred with MIME type application/octet-stream: "http://127.0.0.1:8080/assets/font/fontawesome-webfont.woff". I am using Play 2.0.4 webserver. I added the mime-types to my application.conf file as follows ``` mimetype.eot = application/vnd.ms-fontobject mimetype.otf = application/octet-stream mimetype.ttf=application/x-font-ttf mimetype.woff = application/x-font-woff ``` Any idea what I may be doing wrong.
