Current Behavior

The current (/old?) version of Fluent UI docs related to icon usage is here:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/fluentui#/styles/web/icons

We're using it outside of a React project and on the docs page it refers to https://aka.ms/fluentui-icons, which redirects to https://uifabricicons.azurewebsites.net/, which we are using to obtain smaller subsets of the icon font. Recently it started requiring account login and after login it shows "You don't have access to this."

Expected Behavior

The website should remain accessible for Fabric Icons, or an alternative should be provided as there is currently no other way to get a limited set of Fabric Icons (font).
Switching to the new Fluent Icons or using a different technology to avoid downloading all icons is not desired as it would not be a quick fix.

Reproduction
