Font Links not recognized

Hello, I am having a pretty unique issue regarding the font links for your custom web fonts discussed in this video. Basically, the Visual Studio Code program I am using won't recognize the links as proper, usable web links. Inserting them in my stylesheet will instead cause multiple folders to be affected. I will show you an image of what is going on. Hopefully you can help me find a solution

Also, I cannot figure out how to add a screenshot image to the discussion. So I will copy and paste the lines that are affected instead. Hopefully that works src: url('../fonts/abolition-regular-webfont.eot'); src: url('../fonts/abolition-regular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('../fonts/abolition-regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'), url('../fonts/abolition-regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype');

Specify the language on the first line of the code when using the backticks so that it looks like this:

src: url('../fonts/abolition-regular-webfont.eot'); 
src: url('../fonts/abolition-regular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('../fonts/abolition-regular-webfont.woff') format('woff'), url('../fonts/abolition-regular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype');
