Reminds me that's a platform bug that I have to fix.

[chrisberthe]

Is Shopify able to support font URLs as part of the preload_tag? Ideally this can be done:

{%- liquid
  unless settings.heading_font.system?
    echo settings.heading_font | font_url | preload_tag: as: 'font', type: 'font/woff2', crossorigin: ''
  endunless
-%}

This was a platform bug — preload_tag didn't support font_url output at the time this issue was filed.

This was fixed in December 2025. font_url | preload_tag: as: 'font' now works correctly and auto-adds crossorigin="anonymous":

{{ settings.type_body_font | font_url | preload_tag: as: 'font' }}

The AssetPreload check's suggestion is now valid, so no theme-tools change is needed.
