You don't seem to say what version you're using, but if it's Omega 1.2.4
or later, and you've compiled it with libmagic support, this ought to
work.

What does this report?

file --mime-type Text\ File

And if you're using Omega >= 1.2.4, check if it's built with libmagic
support:

ldd `which omindex`|grep libmagic

If not, you'll need to install the appropriate package (probably
libmagic-devel, but I'm not very familiar with Fedora) and rebuilt
Omega.
