Media Type for Fonts

Vlad: we need to justify it to increase odds

DK gathered evidence which he will doubtless link to

<kuettel> goo.gl/zbDhUN for "Web Font Media Type (mime type) Analysis 2015"

DK: images have nice tidy media type format (90%+) in the form image/<format>
... fonts have a hodgepodge of media types, many of which don't make sense (text/plain, etc)

<kuettel> goo.gl/1wWcMQ for "Media Type Proposal for Fonts"

Discussion of proposal. Tl;dr we want font/<format>, eg font/woff2, etc

(discussion of data)

<kuettel> One more link, a spreadsheet in which I collected the data (for even more file extensions/media types)

<kuettel> https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OiSrVqxFGr1cqjNo_Pvjrr1jYNB4pAnr_Zo07D1lZmw/edit#gid=1296519463

Vlad: We can extend the old proposal (which we have a link to?)

<trackbot> Closed action-129.

Topic Spec Updates

Vlad: is terribly sorry he didn't give anyone any notice

<kuettel> http://dev.w3.org/webfonts/WOFF2/spec/#collection_dir_format

Vlad: Changed Table directory to a parent topic with table and collection under it
... added language to keep glyf/loca pairs together
... changed numbers to 255UInt16
... How to handle TTC format

*version

(exciting discussion of use of null vs 0 in spec)

Question of why we have collection font flavor

as you can infer type from what tables are present

action jkthame Write proposal (eg email wg) on removal of flavor (because it can be inferred)

<trackbot> Error finding 'jkthame'. You can review and register nicknames at <http://www.w3.org/Fonts/WG/track/users>.

After much discussion, we have agreed to have further discussion once Jon writes a paragraph on the topic of dropping font flavor (which appears to apply to both collections and individual fonts)

Vlad: would appreciate test plan ideas for the new test scenarios

Topic TTML

Fonts seems like it would fit into TTML but isn't presently covered; are we interested in this?

(if we don't poke it is likely fonts will be left out)

<kuettel> One quick update on the Brotli specification review front. Mark Adler setup a github repository to track his work (questions/comments on the specification and for the Brotli decoder that he is developing) @ https://github.com/madler/brotli Everyone is welcome to subscribe and follow along

TTML group also handles WebVTT

Vlad will fwd more info, suggestions on how to interact, etc
