Adding fonts using local develpment

I have added a font from google fonts that is not being reflected on the webpage I am creating. I am MAMP and am developing locally. Might this be the reason that it does not appear to be showing on the webpage?

1) Are you definitely using the correct embedding code.

2) What browser are you using.

3) Have you actually added the font-family name to your CSS to make it appear as the main font for headings or paragraphs.

4) Like James said, it's hard to debug without seeing some code.
