it seems we fetch fonts using

Agree, but note that there are no official MIME types for most font
formats. (I *think* application/font-woff did get registered for
WOFF1.) Lots of people have just made up MIME types, including e.g.
application/x-ttf, application/ttf, font/ttf (inventing a whole
category!) and so on. I'm not aware of any significant changes in this
area since I wrote
https://www.owlfolio.org/htmletc/strawman-mime-type-for-fonts/ back in 2011.
As described in that post, I continue to think that
"Accept: application/font" plus client-side selection of URL based on
format() is the Right Thing.
I just filed bug 1077312. However, I don't think this needs to actually
block the implementation of WOFF2 support.
Also agree here.
