7,278 PointsI followed all the steps, and when I refreshed my browser to preview my website, the font did not change. What is wrong?
I did the 'Changa One' font. I copied and pasted the code in index.html and main.css. I jmade sure the location in the lines of code are correct. I made sure I saved. I refreshed the browser. Ugh.

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
And it worked, It shows the heading under the different font in my preview
Either way it appears the issue is definitely with the google font link, hope this helps.

7,278 PointsI still couldn't get that font to work, so I just selected a different font and all is well. Thanks!
Jeff Ward
8,978 PointsCould you paste the code here so we can see it? Also make sure you saved the css/html files to ensure it updated. That is very important. It will not update if the css/html are not saved.

And I know I saved it. I double checked that step for sure.
Jeff Ward
8,978 PointsHmm, Idk it should be working. Im just learning so maybe a more experiecned person can answer. Feel free to email me the project files in your workspace (.zip) and I will mess around with it and see if I can get it to work.
It appears your HTML code is correct... I will have to figure it out. Maybe try to get the google API link again, and just repeat the process. Perhaps it was a bad "link" generated by google. Im just spitballing here.
Deanna O'Neal
7,278 PointsI just changed to a different font and all is well. Thank you!
Jesse Jut
737 PointsI am having the exact same problem. My code is the exact same as yours but even when I try a different font its still not working
Jeff Ward
8,978 Pointslets see your code
Jesse Jut
737 Pointsfor some reason it just started working. I didn't change anything and I definitely had saved it before hand so I don't know why it wasn't working before.
Jeff Ward
8,978 PointsPerhaps it was the script from google? Or the CSS font-famil with proper ''
