Now that I've taken a quick look at this there is a problem when we loop
thru the css files and find/replace the @font-face info with the info
retrieved from google. The multiple queries to google make the export
process take longer.

I'm not sure the extra waiting justifies the saving of about 8MB - it may look like a big increase when only exporting a few pages
but 8MB is still small potatoes, it would take less than 1sec for many to download.

Swapping the @font-face out to be fetched straight from google could
also cause issues if the person want to view the html without connection
to Internet.

Title:
  Reduce size of HTML export zip

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
