# Deprecated settings

The following settings are deprecated and have been replaced. They might still exist in some older themes, but they're no longer supported.

***

## font

The `font` setting has been replaced by the [font\_picker](https://shopify.dev/docs/themes/architecture/settings/input-settings#font_picker) setting.

Settings of type `font` outputs a drop-down menu that's automatically populated with various font selections.

For example, the following setting generates the following output:

## Setting

```json
{
  "type": "font",
  "id": "heading_font",
  "label": "Heading font"
}
```

## Output

***

## snippet

The `snippet` setting has been replaced by [sections](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/architecture/sections).

Settings of type `snippet` outputs a drop-down menu that's automatically populated with the names of all snippet files in the theme.

For example, the following setting generates the following output:

## Setting

```json
{
  "type": "snippet",
  "id": "footer_content",
  "label": "Footer content"
}
```

## Output
