Material Design Icons font files on Google Fonts do not match font files in this repo

[Gitoffthelawn]

Describe the bug

Google Fonts does not offer the same files as the source repo for the Material Design Icons. I reported the issue there as well.

To Reproduce

STR:

1. Download Material Design Icons from Google Fonts website. If you can't figure out how to do this, don't feel bad. Please see the UX issue I reported here.
2. Download Material Design Icons from the source repo for the Material Design Icons.
3. Extract the contents of the downloaded zip files.
4. Compare the version numbers of the font files. Notice they are the same (e.g. v1.017 for MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf).
5. Notice that the file sizes of the fonts aren't even close (e.g. 55% increase in size for the font file distributed via Google Fonts for MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf than distributed via the source repo).

Expected behavior

Fonts distributed via Google Fonts website to match source files.

Goal

Hopefully this issue report (and the corresponding one for Google Fonts) will help determine why the files are different, and if the files distributed by one of the repos need to be changed.
