Yes, removing it would be better.

But while it is still there we could at least make it look better.

Thanks.

all-the-icons.el does distribute TTF fonts, but IIUC that's simply
packaged up versions of free sets that were originally distributed in
SVG.

So what I meant was that we could look at what sets they are linking to,
get the original SVG files and then use those.  That's what I did for
the Material icon toolbar mock-up.
