Thanks for the reply.
Well, AFAIK we don't even have a content-type for fonts in the IANA
registry at the moment?
Could be. I have not checked recently. MIME types for fonts are pointless
now.
So my - maybe naive - question would be, do implementations sniff for
fonts and why did they not ask for a content-type?
Adding support for fonts to browsers went much quicker than getting font/*
from the IETF (I and some others tried doing that, maybe not in the right
way though), and once browsers shipped with font support I stopped caring,
because we would have to sniff forever anyway.
But who is at fault is not what we are interested in here I think. We are
interested in defining when implementations have to sniff. They very much
have to sniff for fonts.
