Comment (by hivewebstudios):

 For what it is worth, our plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/font-
 organizer/ is suffering heavily from this bug, and a lot of our users are
 reporting issues with uploading fonts to their WP.
 Right now our official instruction is to actually download the plugin
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-real-mime-check/ to sort that out,
 but obviously it is not an actual solution.
 Is there some easy way around for us to implement a solution within the
 plugin that will allow our users to upload fonts without getting that
 error?

 We first figured we would just wait for 4.7.3 to solve that issue but
 since its ongoing, we need some other elegant solution that won't affect
 users later on when thte bug is solved and also will minimize
 compatibility issues.

 Also I truly hope I am not breaking any rules by posting this, I never had
 to deal with core issues before and we are currently testing our next
 major plugin release.
