Add MIME mapping in web.config for IIS Express

by

Putting it in the “web.config” works fine. The problem was that I got the MIME type wrong. Instead of font/x-woff or font/x-font-woff it must be application/font-woff:

<system.webServer>
  ...
  <staticContent>
    <remove fileExtension=".woff" />
    <mimeMap fileExtension=".woff" mimeType="application/font-woff" />
  </staticContent>
</system.webServer>

Update 4/10/2013

Spec is now a recommendation and the MIME type is officially: application/font-woff
