Thanks for checking the licenses.  Here are some comments on what you
found.

Actually the term "MIT license" is a confusion for two similar
but not identical license.  One is the X11 license and the other is the
Expat license.  Would you please distinguish them?
See https://gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html.

I can see various meanings for "package up SVG files", and it can make
a difference regarding copyright.

One meaning is that some entity A released SVG files
and another entity B packaged them as fonts.  Is that what you mean?
If so, which one put the license on the fonts?
