I've contemplated that many times. I've even gotten *slightly* frustrated
at myself when I've installed the fonts (on other computers than my usual
ones) at how tedious it is to download each one individually. So, I
understand what others may be feeling. I'm not quite sure what the right
structure is for a single-file download. Do we have a single "otf" folder
and all the .otf files go in it (same for the "svg" folder)? Do I take each
of the .zip files and put them in a single flie? I don't know. A script
certainly makes the duplicating much easier. I'm just not sure which I
would prefer... Either way, having the individual downloads is nice since
there are plenty of users who DO NOT want to get all of them. So that will
stay.
