The Source Sans Pro font files in assets/fonts are version 1.050, which was released in April 2013. The current versions are 2.020 (uprights) and 1.075 (italics), and were released last month.
Updating to the latest version of the fonts will likely fix issue #737, reduce the fonts' footprint, and get the assets in sync with the latest and greatest.
I'm one of the maintainers of the Source Sans Pro repository and I'm willing to submit a PR to update the fonts. But before I do any work, I'd like to know if there's any interest in getting the fonts updated? I ask this because the original font files will require some amount of post-processing to get them down-sampled to match the same set of characters and features that is supported by the current files in assets/fonts. In other words, the PR is not as simple as submitting the original font files (although I can certainly do that, but it will come with a performance hit).
