Preparing font formats
-----------------------
1. From the upstream releases, take the TTF versions.
2. To generate woff format, get https://github.com/googlei18n/sfntly
3. Use https://github.com/google/woff2 to generate woff2 from ttf. This will produce a compressed woff2 file.
   Modern browsers support this format.

   enhanced compression.
