On the other hand, RFC 8081 in Feb 2007 defined the official Media Types for them, font/ttf and font/otf, respectively, and there is also font/sfnt.
Ouch!
Fonts never ever should have been defined as "application/something", to begin with. That suxxx as badly as configuring a web server to define a video file as "application/x-oleobject"

In the long run, SURELY we should start using "font/ttf" sooner or later. The idiocies from the not-very-smart past should be terminated as soon as possible.
