Mime type for WOFF fonts?

embedded-fonts, woff

Solution

Update from Keith Shaw's comment on Jun 22, 2017:

As of February 2017, RFC8081 is the proposed standard. It defines a top-level media type for fonts, therefore the standard media type for WOFF and WOFF2 are as follows:

`font/woff`

`font/woff2`

In January 2011 it was announced that in the meantime Chromium will recognize

`application/x-font-woff`

as the mime-type for WOFF. I know this change is now in Chrome beta and if not in stable yet, it shouldn't be too far away.

Problem

What mime type should WOFF fonts be served as? I am serving truetype (ttf) fonts as `font/truetype` and opentype (otf) as `font/opentype`, but I cannot find the correct format for WOFF fonts. I have tried `font/woff`, `font/webopen`, and `font/webopentype`, but Chrome still complains: "Resource interpreted as font but transferred with MIME type application/octet-stream." Anybody know?
