The size of zip file increases 5 times with Nerd Fonts. Need smaller distributions.

Description of the new feature/enhancement (with images if possible)

The size of zip file increases 5 times with Nerd Fonts: from 23.7MB to 144MB. I only use the ttf variable so it's a waste to download all of them just to get 4 files.

Should consider breaking it down into multiple distributions.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Distribute the fonts in separated zip files to better serve each group of users.

While I usually feel very strongly about this, I think it's fine to be wasteful here. This is not some container image that gets constantly downloaded. Most users will do this at best a few times per year.

Probably the archive can also be released as xz, which reduces the size by about a factor of 10. Otoh the support for xz is spotty in some situations (Github itself to begin with). I know a lot re-packager would like to use xz.
Just an idea ;-)
