Summary

GetStore API returns the complete set of information in Font container ONLY IF you have made the change to the Font properties for the predefined store theme selected in your eBay store ( Note. one can make SetStore API call or go to StoreMgmtEditTheme page to make such changes).

You should make GetStoreOptions call to retrieve the complete set of data for for the list of predefined eBay stores options including the themes and color schemes and store the data to your local repository.

Here is a snippet of the relevant section of GetStoreOptions API response.
