[Bug 1518832] [NEW] Reduce size of HTML export zip

 

Public bug reported:

With Bug 1515826 we're now including all the theme assets for a page, in
its HTML export file.

Unfortunately, this bumps the unzipped web archive contents up over 8MB.
Which isn't a whole lot in the scheme of things I suppose, but before we
did this, it was about 500kB. The main culprit is the raw/static/fonts
directory included in the export, which is 8MB on its own. The opensans
folder alone is about 6MB.

The typical use-case for these fonts is for people to include them with
a rel link to a remote server, like this: <link
href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans'
rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

We should see if we could make that happen with our export code, in
order to reduce the size of the export.
