after I coded the same on my workspace, I refreshed my website but the font of the headline 1 didn't change at all
Here is the code I did in CSS
h1{ font-family: 'Changa One', sans-serif; margin: 15px 0; font-size:1.75em; font-weight:normal; line-height:0.8em; } h2{ font-size:0.75em; margin:-5px 0 0; font-weight:normal; }
in html:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css"> <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
any reply will be appreciated .

Courses Plus Student 17,967 PointsIs that what it takes to be downloaded on the computer?
Timothy Winters
12,926 PointsIf you use a link to Google Fonts it doesn't get downloaded to your computer until you load it on the page. This also means that the person viewing the webpage doesn't need the font installed on their computer since it will download with the page as their viewing it.

3,298 PointsAccording to your statement, I have to download the font to my computer? I thought just click 'use' and then the css file link provided by google fonts ,then I can apply that font to my website.... thanks for your reply.
Timothy Winters
12,926 PointsYou click use and get the link and add it to your page. It is applied to your website. You don't download it to your computer directly, the .html , .css and .js is downloaded when you see it on your screen and then during that step is when the font is also temporarily downloaded to be rendered on the screen.
