CSS How to Make a Website Customizing Colors and Fonts Pick Fonts and Set Relative Units

Pick Fonts & Rel Units problem- Font won't change

Hello,

I've been following all the videos step by step and I am stuck on the one mentioned above. At the beginning of the instructions when you need to bring fonts from Google , I copy-paste the link between normalize.css and main.css in HTML, and then when I go to the css file for the h1 and add the font-family, no changes are made on the website.I checked the rest of the code and it is identical with the one in the video. The only difference (although I don't suspect this might be the problem) is that I don't have the same amount of * at the comments as in the instructions...or could that be it?. My browser is firefox, I use linux and the html editor is called Kate. Thank you!

Have you checked to see if the fonts work in IE or Chrome? If they do work check this link. https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/troubleshooting. Not sure exactly without seeing the code.
