I think the answer is: each of these fonts has 4,661 glyphs. Helvetica has 1,389. Each file is a full variant. IMO we could throw typography to the wind and discard the bold variants, assuming we have a font renderer that can increase weights dynamically. We're currently spending 3.4MB just to make *foobar* look good. I also don't know why these are separate files, rather than a combined TTF. Presumably each variant isn't hand-bolded or hand-italicized for all 4,000 glyphs, so there must be dead weight there. > Maybe the last two should be downloadable components?
