Description
Like many Google products, the [Google Fonts website](https://fonts.google.com/icons) has a significant UX issue that likely has frustrated many people.
What's one of the most common tasks users want to perform when visiting the Google Fonts website? ***To download fonts.***
How visible is UI to accomplish this common task for icon fonts on the Google Fonts website? ***Not at all.***
What steps does the user currently need to take to accomplish this task?
1. Employ magic/telepathy by somehow realizing that the essential download option is hidden off-screen.
2. Click the horizontal scroller arrow to reveal this important functionality.
3. Click the now-revealed `Download Material Symbols` or `Download Material Icons` button.
**Recommendation:**
Take the essential functionality out of the horizontal scroller, where it is hidden by default. Or if you must have it in a horizontally scrolling menu, make it the first item, so it is never hidden.
