It seems that most readers and browsers don't really check the media type. Which is good, because as far as I can find out, only one obsolete font ever got a assigned media type.
Still, for future compatibility, one needs something, and the most common recommendation seems to be media-type=application/x-font-otf (or ttf, depending on the file type). x is for extension, as there is no assigned type for fonts. While vnd.ms-opentype probably is correct, both otf and ttf are recognized standard types, so I don't think we need to use the vendor specific designation, as long as we use x-font-something.
But font/anything is incorrect, as IANA doesn't have a font mime-type directory.
At least, that's what I'm going to do from now on.
