Question

I keep getting this warning

Resource interpreted as Font but transferred with MIME type application/octet-stream: \"http://127.0.0.1:8080/assets/font/fontawesome-webfont

Answer 1

For my IIS instance, i had to use the following:

.woff — application/font-woff (not application/x-font-woff)

See:
