Done

A lot of these fonts are being shipped as part of documentation packages.

EOT is an old web format that targeted IE <= 8.
It was never a source format. The font was in TTF and was converted to EOT

We should keep the ability to convert from EOT (just in case).

I would be very much surprised if those EOT files were still useful in any
way.
It would be a very good idea to get rid of them.
