title: can't get iis7 to gzip font-face font files
body: <p>im on a shared webhost and i only have access to the web.config file for iis7.5.
  javascript files and css files are gzipped, so that works, but i think that works by default because static compression is enabled in iis7.5.  however, i cannot get font files to get gzipped, they are the same size when sent and the response headers dont have content-encoding: gzip.
  thank you for any help.</p>
  
  <p>this is the web.config file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;configuration&gt;
  &lt;system.webServer&gt;
      &lt;directoryBrowse enabled="false" /&gt;
  &lt;staticContent&gt;
      &lt;mimeMap fileExtension=".otf" mimeType="font/opentype" /&gt;
  &lt;/staticContent&gt;
  &lt;httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files"&gt;
          &lt;scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll" /&gt;
          &lt;dynamicTypes&gt;
      &lt;add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true" /&gt;
          &lt;add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true" /&gt;
          &lt;add mimeType="font/open-type" enabled="true" /&gt;
      &lt;add mimeType="application/javascript" enabled="true" /&gt;
      &lt;add mimeType="text/css" enabled="true" /&gt;
      &lt;add mimeType="text/html" enabled="true" /&gt;
      &lt;add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false" /&gt;
          &lt;/dynamicTypes&gt;
      &lt;staticTypes&gt;
      &lt;add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true" /&gt;

      &lt;add mimeType="*/*" enabled="false" /&gt;
          &lt;/staticTypes&gt;
  &lt;/httpCompression&gt;
      &lt;urlCompression dynamicCompressionBeforeCache="true" doDynamicCompression="true" doStaticCompression="true" /&gt;
      &lt;defaultDocument&gt;
          &lt;files&gt;
              &lt;clear /&gt;
