Description Gordon P. Hemsley 2012-11-05 18:49:28 UTC 
This is related to IETF issue #25:
http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/websec/trac/ticket/25

We need to determine which fonts need to be sniffed and how to do it.

I added the signatures that Anne suggested:

https://github.com/whatwg/mimesniff/commit/017558d4473bcf0700f6be84765990b9b1514a39

Still need to determine the appropriate media types to output, and whether additional font types are needed.
Comment 3 Domenic Denicola 2019-03-29 22:43:59 UTC 
This seems pretty solid these days; some folks on GitHub fixed up the MIME types used.
