You can try to add to the the following to either
.htaccess or
httpd.conf:
Code:
AddType application/octet-stream otf
This should make the
Save dialog appear.
Fonts does not have defined MIME types yet, but you could replace the above with
Code:
AddType font/otf otf
for a more informative MIME type. This should result in similar behaviour as with the
application/octet-stream.
The reason you get type
Content-Type: text/plain is because this is the default MIME type in apache (
DefaultType text/plain directive in
http.conf). So if the .otf file contains text then it will be rendered by the browser. But .otf files (Opentype Font Format) is supposed to be in a binary format so this is strange.
As for the client side (firefox):

When you click a link to download a file, the MIME type determines what action is taken. If you see an "Opening <filename>" dialog asking if you want to save the file or open it with a specified application, that normally means that no plugin is installed and enabled that can handle that MIME type and you have not previously selected a download action or helper application to always use for that type of file. Starting in Firefox 3 and SeaMonkey 2, the "Opening <filename>" dialog will also appear if you have selected "Always ask" as the action for the file's content type in your (Helper) Applications options/preferences (see below).
