Delete a font DELETE

Removes the font. Templates that still name it keep rendering but in a substitute face, so run validate on them afterwards.

Get a library template GET

One library template in full, including its `document` — a working example of the engine, which is the cheapest way to learn either format. To use it, **do not** copy the `document` into a create call. POST to `/api/v1/templates` with `{ "from_library": "<slug>" }`. Copying the document alone leaves the images behind: canvas stores the source template's storage keys inside the document, so the copy renders someone else's assets until they are deleted, and then renders nothing.
