For example ‘text/plain’.   I am not sure “media type” is correct either but I believe IANA is using it to mean “content type” or “format type”

I think you are just a misreading the spec - probably this just needs some wording changes to avoid confusion.

The FontNameRequested element is only used for formats like "text/plain".  The value is a font name ("Arial", "Courier", etc.).
