.pfa files are detected via extension as "application/x-font-type1", however when gnome-vfs sniffs the MIME type it detects application/postscript. I'd guess the .pfa match needs to have an increased priority.
that's true that it should have a greater priority that postscript itself as .pfa files are valid postscript files ---- i see nowhere in this XML bloc that application/x-font-type1 is a subclass of application/postscript <sub-class-of type="application/postscript"/> like application/postscript should be a subclass of text/plain <sub-class-of type="text/plain"/> ---- the only other thing i don't really like in the x-font-type1 XML is that : <glob pattern="*.pcf.Z"/> (the .Z part aspecialy) if we start to add .Z, .bz2, .gz to every mime-type/file extension, it is a no-go well, that was my 2cts ---
Thanks, fixed subclassing. > the only other thing i don't really like in the x-font-type1 XML is that : > <glob pattern="*.pcf.Z"/> > (the .Z part aspecialy) > if we start to add .Z, .bz2, .gz to every mime-type/file extension, it is a no-go I think we're driving towards adding foo-compressed MIME type definitions as we need them. This does mostly affect font files, READusualMEs, ps.gz etc.., i.e. files that have a chance of being handled differently by the respective handling applications compared to "common" gzip files (.doc.gz).
