Create-react-app: Disable hashed file names for font files

[AdityaAnand1]

Here's an example, I'm loading some fonts:

@font-face {
    font-family: "Flaticon";
    src: url("./font/Flaticon.eot");
    src: url("./font/Flaticon.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"),
    url("./font/Flaticon.woff") format("woff"),
    url("./font/Flaticon.ttf") format("truetype"),
    url("./font/Flaticon.svg#Flaticon") format("svg");
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
}

The font files will never ever change.

And yet, for every build:

A new hashed file name is generated, meaning after every deploy, my users have to download the fonts over and over, just because the name changed.

I'd like to keep the hashed file names for CSS/JS and all, but why are font file names hashed by default? And what's the solution to this? I want no name hashing for font file.

I can see 'static/media/[name].[hash:8].[ext]' for the file-loader. Maybe [contenthash] would make more sense.
