Add WorkSans (non-variable) from original repo #7

Closed ronaldtse closed 3 years ago

Seems that Google Fonts only provides the "variable size" font, but in some cases we need the static font weights.

We want to add the font from this repo: https://github.com/weiweihuanghuang/Work-Sans

In https://github.com/fontist/formulas/blob/692f367c4ce90724dcfcdff15e34ab7f0c31df37/Formulas/google/work_sans.yml via url https://fonts.google.com/download?family=Work%20Sans Google provides a zip that contains static fonts (in static sub-folder).

Indeed, Google fonts include static fonts in a separate directory. They were missed because they are not listed in METADATA.pb.

An original repo contains a newer version of font v2.010 (vs v2.009 from Google), so I've created a formula from the repo.

Other thing to consider is that an archive from the original repo has a size of 115 MB vs 5 MB from Google.
