Closes #1937. Replaces #1940, which added an opt-out for a mechanism we're removing instead.

Why

components.json#font was a standing config field, so every shadcn-vue add re-derived a Google Fonts @import from it and rewrote it into the project's CSS — sweeping away any other fonts.googleapis.com import while it was there. Projects that load fonts themselves (@nuxt/fonts, unplugin-fonts, self-hosted) had no way to turn it off.

Upstream shadcn has no such field. Fonts are registry:font items resolved from the registry, applied when you init or apply a preset, and installed as fontsource packages — never as a URL written into user CSS. This brings shadcn-vue in line.

What changed

CLI

  • registry:font items in the resolved tree are folded into it by a new massageTreeForFonts: the item's fontsource package becomes a dependency, an @import "@fontsource-variable/…" in the CSS file, and the theme variable it defines. Font items carry no files, so that's all they do.
  • font / fontHeading removed from components.json, along with init --font and the font prompt. Existing configs keep working — both keys are dropped on parse rather than rejected by the strict schema, and the same strip runs on registry:base configs so responses from registry deployments that still send them parse cleanly.
  • addFontImportPlugin and the local FONTS table (Google Fonts URLs, no longer read by anything) are gone.

Registry

  • registry/fonts.ts is now a definitions table generating a body item (font-inter) and a heading item (font-heading-inter) per font, each naming its fontsource package. The items are byte-compatible with upstream's (/r/styles/new-york-v4/font-heading-lora.json on ui.shadcn.com). Families are the fontsource ones ('Inter Variable', sans-serif), which fixes six entries that named a non-variable family.
  • buildRegistryBase lists the selected font items in registryDependencies by name, exactly as upstream does.
  • Upstream can publish those items as static files because it gitignores its generated registry output and has one active style directory. We commit ours and have nine, so publishing would mean 432 identical files. Instead one route (server/routes/r/styles/[style]/[name].get.ts) serves font items under the style path. Verified against the dev server: …/button.json still returns the static component, …/font-inter.json returns the font item, unknown names 404. No generated files are added — apps/v4/public/r/ is byte-identical to dev.

Compatibility. The base still emits the font family theme var and still sends config.font, both marked deprecated: CLI versions that predate font items read them, and without them those users would silently fall back to the default sans stack. Current CLIs ignore both. Older CLIs also resolve the new font-* dependencies fine — they hit the same route and ignore the item.

Verification

  • Real CLI runs against the local dev server: add font-inter (bare name through the style path), and add <init URL> for a preset with a separate heading font. Both fontsource packages installed, both @import lines written, --font-sans: 'Noto Sans Variable', sans-serif and --font-heading: 'Playfair Display Variable', serif set, no Google URL. The project's components.json still carried the old font / fontHeading keys throughout — parsed and ignored.
  • test/utils/updaters/update-fonts.test.ts covers package resolution, dedup, heading fonts, tree preservation and the CSS import.
  • packages/cli: typecheck, lint and 535 tests pass.
  • apps/v4: registry build produces no diff. pnpm typecheck reports 39 errors — byte-identical to the same run on dev (icon prop typing, a readonly assign, unifont generics, icon build scripts), so pre-existing and untouched by this change.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The registry now generates self-hosted body and heading font items. The CLI removes font selection and legacy font configuration fields. Component installation converts resolved font items into dependencies, CSS imports, and theme variables. Documentation and validation tests reflect the new flow.

Changes

Self-hosted font registry migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Generate and serve font registry items
apps/v4/registry/fonts.ts, apps/v4/registry/config.ts, apps/v4/server/routes/r/styles/..., apps/v4/content/docs/04.theming.md
Typed definitions generate separate body and heading font items with fontsource metadata. The registry resolves their variables and dependencies. A route serves validated font items. The theming documentation describes the new configuration.
Remove CLI font selection and preserve compatibility
packages/cli/src/commands/init.ts, packages/cli/src/registry/constants.ts, packages/cli/src/registry/schema.ts, packages/cli/src/utils/get-config.ts, packages/cli/src/preset/..., apps/v4/public/schema.json, apps/v4/content/docs/06.cli.md, packages/cli/test/utils/schema.test.ts, packages/cli/test/utils/registry-api.test.ts
The CLI no longer accepts, prompts for, or writes font settings. Deprecated font and fontHeading keys are stripped before validation. Preset checks and schemas use the updated font model.
Resolve and install registry fonts
packages/cli/src/registry/resolver.ts, packages/cli/src/utils/updaters/update-fonts.ts, packages/cli/src/utils/add-components.ts, packages/cli/src/utils/updaters/update-css-vars.ts, packages/cli/test/utils/updaters/update-fonts.test.ts
Resolved font items are transformed into unique dependencies, CSS imports, and theme variables for project and workspace installation. Legacy Google Font import processing is removed. Tests cover dependency resolution and CSS output.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 922d1

The new font installation flow may fail for clients that rely on the shared /r/fonts/.json endpoint because the current route only serves style-scoped paths. Merge should wait for endpoint compatibility or explicit owner acceptance of this bounded integration risk.

Comment thread packages/cli/test/utils/registry-api.test.ts
Fonts were a standing `components.json` field: the CLI re-derived a Google
Fonts `@import` from `font` / `fontHeading` and rewrote it into the project's
CSS on every `add`, clobbering whatever else was in there. Projects that load
fonts themselves had no way out (#1937).

Fonts now work the way they do upstream — as registry items, resolved once
when you init or apply a preset:

- `registry:font` items carry the fontsource package for their family. The
  CLI installs it, imports it from the project's CSS file and sets the theme
  variable. Nothing is fetched from a font CDN at runtime and no font URL is
  written into a user's CSS.
- `registry:base` depends on the body and heading items its preset selects,
  by name, exactly as upstream does. Fonts don't vary by style, so instead of
  publishing 48 identical items into each of the nine style directories, one
  route serves them under the style path. Static component files still win —
  only requests with no file behind them reach it.
- Adding a component no longer touches fonts at all, so there is nothing left
  to opt out of.
- `font` and `fontHeading` are gone from `components.json`, along with the
  `--font` flag and the init prompt. Existing configs keep working: both keys
  are dropped on parse rather than rejected by the strict schema.

BREAKING CHANGE: `components.json#font` / `#fontHeading` and `init --font` are
removed. Fonts come from the preset you init with or apply. Existing projects
keep their current font — the `@import` already in their CSS still resolves —
and can move to a self-hosted font by re-applying their preset.

Closes #1937

A preset with an unsupported fontHeading would pass the existing check and
then have the base depend on a font-heading-<name> item that doesn't exist.
