Update bundled Google Fonts (Material Symbols + Roboto v50) - #5762
Merged
Conversation
Re-fetch all bundled Google Fonts to pick up latest Material Symbols icons (e.g. database_upload, cloud_alert, desktop_cloud). - Material Symbols Outlined/Rounded/Sharp grew ~23% with new icons - Roboto upgraded from v30 to v50 (variable font), reducing font files from 49 to 16 - Fix fetch_google_fonts.py to handle duplicate font URLs (Google now serves the same Roboto variable font file across multiple weights) - Remove stale version-pinned URL fallback replacements (v140, v30) Closes zauberzeug#5743 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

I like this for the Lighthouse improvement as well: variable fonts are the future! |

Motivation
Users report that newer Material Symbols icons like
database_upload,cloud_alert, anddesktop_cloudrender incorrectly as two separate icons instead of one. This is because the bundled Material Symbols fonts were last updated in January 2024 and are missing icons added since then.See discussion: #5743
An audit script confirmed the update is purely additive -- 519 new codepoints added, 0 removed across all font variants. Full audit results posted here: #5743 (reply in thread)
Implementation
fetch_google_fonts.pyto download latest fonts from Google Fontsfetch_google_fonts.pyto handle duplicate font URLs: Google now serves Roboto v50 as a variable font where the same file is shared across multiple weights, which caused the script to crash on duplicate filenamesv140,v30) that were dead code after the download loopFont changes:
