Warns against using deprecated fonts in section and blocks schemas.


Anchor to Validation on deprecated fontsValidation on deprecated fonts

You'll get a warning if you use a deprecated font in your settings_schema.json schema settings. To resolve the warning, use a handle for a font from Shopify's library.

In the following example, there is a single use of a deprecated font (helvetica_n4) as the default value for a setting of type font_picker.

{% schema %}
[
...
{
"name": "t:names.typography",
"settings": [
{
"type": "header",
"content": "Fonts"
},
{
"type": "font_picker",
"id": "type_primary_font",
"default": "helvetica_n4",
"label": "t:settings.primary_font"
}
]
}
]
{% endschema %}

This example is not exhaustive. The check applies to the default value of any setting of type font_picker in settings_schema.json.


The following example contains the default configuration for this check:

DeprecatedFontsOnSettingsSchema:
enabled: true
severity: warning
ParameterDescription
enabledWhether this check is enabled.
severityThe severity of the check.

Anchor to Disabling this checkDisabling this check

Disabling this check isn't recommended because using deprecated fonts in settings_schema.json may lead to unexpected behavior in future Shopify updates. These deprecated font settings are being phased out in favor of the new font system, and themes that continue to use them may experience styling issues or broken functionality when the deprecated features are eventually removed.
