New issue 545924 by johnson....@gmail.com: Failed to decode downloaded
font: (proprietary_font.woff) OTS parsing error: invalid version tag
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=545924

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like
Gecko) Chrome/46.0.2490.71 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Access index page on chrome browser

What is the expected behavior?
It should load our proprietary font.

What went wrong?
This latest version 46.0.2490.71 doesn't seem to load the font. It was
working fine on other versions of Chrome browser including version 45.
Attached the screen shot.

Log:
Failed to decode downloaded font:
http://192.168.0.1/assets/css/fonts/NOWTVText_W_Rg.woff
OTS parsing error: invalid version tag

Failed to decode downloaded font:
http://192.168.0.1/assets/css/fonts/NOWTVText_W_Lt.ttf
OTS parsing error: invalid version tag

Did this work before? Yes Worked on version 45 and all other older versions

Chrome version: 46.0.2490.71 Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 19.0 r0

It definitely looks like a regression.

Getting this with Version 46.0.2490.71 m

It seems all other browsers working as expected but Chrome shows the errors
like that. We had done prototype very long back, it's looking different now
in chrome.

Tentatively assigned to Sakamoto-san. We need to investigate this with the
issue 527165. I'm not sure these should be merged for now, but could be
caused by the same root.

Could you provide a page that reproduces the issue, or upload the font file
(if the font license allows)?

goligolan: Please provide an example to reproduce your case. The root cause
can be different font by font.

I've done the same thing in @font-face class for ttf
Eg:
@font-face {
font-family: 'NOWTVMedium';
src: url('fonts/NOWTVText_W_Lt.eot');
url(data:font/ttf;charset=utf-8;base64,AAEAAAARAQAABAAQR1BPU+.........);
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}

This solution works but the downside of it is the CSS file grows and
additional overhead in data transfer.

This was never needed in the previous version of Chrome.

Some new functionality might have broken this.

Let me close this as WontFix because of lack of enough user's feedback.
Please file a new bug case by case if you still have a trouble and could
provide a real example to reproduce your issue.

Actually, the original issue and #3 could happen because of different
roots. But we could not investigate without a real example. I can not say
anything about #8 and #11 without real data. It could be the same with #3,
but could be another new problem.

'application/font-woff' should be the recommended mime type according to
the spec, http://www.w3.org/TR/WOFF/#appendix-b. But I think this should
not make any difference. Actually, Blink has a test to load a WebFont
encoded with data URL with mime type font/ttf. I think it isn't recommended
type, but works.
