What is the use case that this would fulfill?

@RochesterinNYC Enabling Expires and Cache-Control for local font without modifying
default mime.types

[athornton2012]

Just to clarify, right now in order to enable a Expires setting for a font type, you would have to specify something like:

# Expires map
map $sent_http_content_type $expires {
    default                off;
    text/html              epoch;
    font/ttf               max;
    font/opentype          max;
}

as well as providing your own mime.types file (because the font mime.types do not exist in our default buildpack provided mime.types file).

And you would like to include font types in the existing default mime.types file provided by the buildpack, so that users no longer have to include their own mime.types file for this use case?

@athornton2012 exactly

@kyrylkov Yes, we would take a PR that includes specs.
