Description
The IANA has deprecated the use of the application MIME type for fonts in favour of a primary font type.
Source: https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml#font - (In page search for "deprecated" to find the old entries).
To become compliant, the mime.types file would have the line:
application/font-woff woff;
replaced with
font/woff woff; font/woff2 woff2;
Which additionally adds WOFF2 support as per the IANA listing. I note that Google Fonts already serves fonts with this new MIME type.

These changes will be a part of nginx 1.15.1.

IMHO, I suggest to add new mime-types and save old one for compatibility
