Customiser fonts

Update a font

Copy page

Applies an RFC 7396 JSON Merge Patch to one font: properties omitted from the body are unchanged, and null clears a nullable property (line_height, the minimum letter heights, and every reference). Setting line_height to null returns the font to its typeface's own line height, which uses_default_line_height then reports as true.

Update a font

Applies an RFC 7396 JSON Merge Patch to one font: properties omitted from the body are unchanged, and `null` clears a nullable property (`line_height`, the minimum letter heights, and every reference). Setting `line_height` to null returns the font to its typeface's own line height, which `uses_default_line_height` then reports as true. Read-only and unknown fields are rejected. An empty object `{}` is a valid no-op. Requires `customisers:write`. A patch that would leave the font without the pricing reference its customiser's pricing model needs is refused with a 422, and every reference must name one of this customiser's own rows. An `Idempotency-Key` is optional here: sending one makes the update safe to retry (an exact repeat replays the original response; the same key with a different body is a 409). The update clears the customiser's cached storefront configuration and runs the advisory language sync, and never regenerates Shopify products, product images, or the product cache.
