Current behavior 😯
Set component props as for example fontSize="small" or sx={{ fontSize: 30 }} don't modify size of icon. It doesn't work for Material Icons. Change font size for FontAwesome icons works correctly.


Expected behavior 🤔
Icon size should be changed after set fontSize="small" or sx={{ fontSize: 30 }}
Steps to reproduce 🕹
Steps:
- Go to https://mui.com/components/icons/#font-material-icons
- See that icon size is not changed for the two last icons

I tried to insert icon and change its size using component

Research direction
Start with the examples at the font-material-icons documentation page and compare the two final Material Icons examples with the FontAwesome examples. Verify how fontSize="small" and sx={{ fontSize: 30 }} affect each rendered icon; done means both props visibly change Material font icon size as expected.
