Description

I noticed that https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts releases in `.tar.xz`, in addition to `.zip`.

Compared to `.tar.xz` or `.7z`, `.zip` compression just doesn't do a great job, with an especially noticeable difference for Nerd Fonts.

| File | `.zip` | `.7z` (LZMA2, level 9) |
|--------|--------|--------|
| monaspace-static-v1.300 | 33.9 MB | 9.55 MB |
| monaspace-nerdfonts-v1.300 | 295 MB | 13.5 MB |
