I had this pop up too. You need to "percent encode" the URL, specifically the pipe character ( | ) between Changa One and Open Sans. The pipe character's encode is %7C .

So, change this:

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

To this:

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One%7COpen+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>```
