Comment (by blobfolio):

 @eddiemcham, you can fix the issue for your site without installing an
 extra plugin by following @lukecavanagh's suggestion, only the type you
 insert needs to be the type that PHP ''thinks'' it is, not necessarily the
 objectively correct type (`font/woff`). To figure that out, you can adapt
 the quickie code snippet at
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39550#comment:135

 This workaround is only necessary in cases where your particular version
 of PHP believes a file to be of type `application/*`. I mention it in case
 you run into issues with any other file types, as most of the time when
 PHP gets the type wrong, it will think it is `application/something`.

 As @swissspidy mentioned, this is currently being tackled on a couple of
 different fronts, so should be largely resolved in the next release or
 two.
