SVG, various X font formats, Windows bitmap fonts formats, etc.

As you are distinguishing between type1 and type3 PostScript fonts, you 
probably need to distinguish between EOT and basic OpenType.  (The only

content negotiation, so you may want to consider the effect on the 
length of the HTTP Accept header.
