You could do it by file extension instead of mime type:<br />
<br />
mod_gzip_item_include file \.eot$ <br />
mod_gzip_item_include file \.otf$ <br />
mod_gzip_item_include file \.ttf$ <br />
mod_gzip_item_include file \.woff$ <br />
mod_gzip_item_include file \.svg$ <br />
<br />
BTW, there are mime types for a couple of these already, but seems like more work to do it that way (application/vnd.ms-fontob<wbr />ject = eot, application/vnd.oasis.open<wbr />document.f<wbr />ormula-tem<wbr />plate = otf, etc.)<br />

OK... do you just add these lines like you have them above to httpd.conf, one line per file type?

I already have this in the root httpd.conf for all domains on the box. &nbsp;But webfonts have no established mime-type (that I know of... as of Feb 2011) &nbsp;so how do you tell Apache to gzip all <br />

How Do We Tell Apache to Gzip Font Files?
