Searching the web, I find heaps of different suggestions for what the proper MIME type for a font is, but I have yet to try any MIME type that rids me of a Chrome warning such as the following:

Resource interpreted as font but transferred with MIME type font/otf

The font is an OTF.

I've tried the following MIME types so far

font/otf
application/font-otf
application/font
application/otf
application/octet-stream
application/x-font-otf
application/x-font-TrueType (I know it's not truetype, but one source quoted this for OTF)
