i made a form to upload fonts on server and i put validation rule only accept file with .ttf and .otf extension and its working with .ttf format but when i upload .otf extension file format the validation fails.
$this->validate($request, [
'title' => 'required',
'font_file' => 'required|mimes:ttf,otf'
]);
I'm using Laravel 5.3 and php 7
the validation error is
The font file must be a file of type: ttf, otf.
So it seems that the mime types for web-fonts are not really finished yet and they are still changing. I've read about changing the family to font/ttf and so on.
However otf stands for open font type. You can try the following mime type instead for that
'font_file' => 'required|mimes:ttf,opentype'
Reference: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2871655/proper-mime-type-for-fonts
Its not working and have tried below combination but no success
application/x-font-otf,
font/opentype,
opentype,
otf
please help me to sorted this out.
@tonytran did you ever find a solution for this? I've tried adding 'opentype' and 'font/opentype' into my allowed-types - but it's still not working.
