So, you should use this instead:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto+Slab:400,100,300,700%7CRoboto+Condensed:300italic,400italic,700italic,400,300,700%7CRoboto:400,100,100italic,300,300italic,400italic,500,500italic,700,700italic,900,900italic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
