This will be reduced drastically in our upcoming deployment[1]. The fonts were used for displaying Arabic written on the page. Using a complete font for language autonyms is not a good idea considering the bandwidth, but without compromising on readability of our large number of supported languages, a subset font is going to be applied with less than 50KB size.
