I received an error at the WC3 markup service relating to my google font choice.

Line 7, Column 173: Bad value http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,300,400italic,700,700italic,900|Alegreya:400italic,700italic,400,700,900 for attribute href on element link: Illegal character in query: not a URL code point. ā€¦900|Alegreya:400italic,700italic,400,700,900' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'> Syntax of URL: Any URL. For example: /hello, #canvas, or http://example.org/. Characters should be represented in NFC and spaces should be escaped as %20.
