font media types

[Levantovsky, Vladimir]

Dear all,

Please see attached the updated working draft of the ISO/IEC 14496-22/PDAM2 with additional Annex E that defines three new media types for fonts:
application/font-ttf,
application/font-otf, and
application/font-off

The document needs to be finalized before the end of the week, and your comments are greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Vladimir

> The decision was that the AHG should move quickly to finalize the list

> apply for, and prepare the text of the application to IANA. At the same
> time, we will have an extended two-week editing period for the existing
> Working Draft Amendment so that the proposed MIME types could be added
> in the text of the amendment before it's submitted for ballot.

> We need to proceed quickly - the text of the application including the
> list of font formats and their corresponding MIME types must be
> finalized no later than April 6th.
