Apache AddType text/css .css Ignored

Question

I have made an ,htaccess file in my /font directory with only this line in it (as part of troubleshooting).

AddType text/css .css

None the less Google Chrome (even 19.0.1053.0 canary) reports that the .css files are returned as: MIME type text/html

http://paulanorman.com/:11 Resource interpreted as Stylesheet but transferred with MIME type text/html: "http://paulanorman.com/fonts/iwona-stylesheet.css".

I use Hostgator and have checked in Cpanel that text/css is default on my server for .css

I have also checked using wget on cygwin bash shell and the documents are indeed coming down as text/html

These stylesheets are being ignored. However I have found if I

<style ..>
 <?php include "dah dha / style-sheets.css" ?>
</style>

one by one in the head of my document all is fine.

However I would like not to have to do that.

Any one solved this? I have read much all over the net about this and it appears as an unexplained fickle problem it seems.

TIA paul

According to www.askapache.com this is ok as a one step process with the quote marks

AddType 'text/css; charset=UTF-8' css
