marsha spell - It's hard to know where you are having issues without first seeing your code.

You might find this syntax reference helpful to compare against your code.

Hello Marsha,

Without seeing your code it's hard to determine what the problem could be.

A few tips:

  • Make sure you place Nunito in single quotes and uses a capital N.
  • Make sure you are separating the families with a comma.

If these tips don't help please post your code so I can help you further.

My code is:

h1 { font-family: 'Roboto', 'sans-serif'; }

and I get this error: Bummer! Be sure to include sans-serif as a fallback for your font.

What I am doing wrong ?!

later edit: I have removed the commas from sans-serif and it worked. :/

marsha spell - You forgot the comma between your 2 font families.

For future reference, in online forums and emails, writing in ALL CAPS is often interrupted as yelling.
