Description Philipp Cordes 2011-04-11 11:54:35 UTC
*.sfd files created by FontForge lack the correct MIME type application/vnd.font-fontforge-sfd. They are identified as text/plain.
The correct MIME type isn’t even in my MIME database, although there is a IANA entry about it:  http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.font-fontforge-sfd

I’m not sure which of my installed packages should be responsible for this MIME type; my list of candidates includes:

 - app-misc/mime-types-8
 - gnome-base/gnome-mime-data-2.18.0
 - media-gfx/fontforge-20100501
 - x11-misc/shared-mime-info-0.80

Please take this upstream.
