Best Practice to adjust height of Material UI Icon

I put two icons from Material UI Icons in a row. The heights themselves are same: 24px. But the height of path is different. One is 18px and the other is 22px. They don't look cool.

How can I adjust the height? I mean "the height that users see".

import {
  Delete,
  FileCopy
} from "@material-ui/icons";

...

<Box display="flex">
  <FileCopy onClick={handleCopy} />
  <Delete onClick={handleDelete} />
</Box>

I tried setting the the height of SVG, it made vertical align ugly...

The icons have a fontSize property - e.g. <HomeIcon fontSize="large" />.

You can also set it explicitly - <DeleteIcon style={{fontSize: "10px"}}/>.

It's tough to answer this question without more context of the components and what you can pass to them and what is being returned from them.

Assuming <FileCopy /> is returning an SVG element that you can pass valid svg properties to, the correct way to adjust the size would be to pass it height and width attributes.

<FileCopy height='48' width='48' />

Another way to think about this is the svgs likely have a viewBox that acts as a canvas. The height and width properties of the svg will change the size of the viewBox/canvas with the icon/paths inside it scaling along with it.
