Mime type for WOFF fonts?

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.
