431 PointsAdding Fonts to Your Website
Hi,
Im working on the Pick Fonts and Set Relative Units part of the How To Make A Website video and I just purchased a font off of MyFonts.com and am having problems trying to add it to my code. Any help would be great. TIA!

1,428 PointsHey, First can you give us more information about the problem? Did you add the link element to your html file. Like this example from the google fonts site,
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato|Open+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
or is the problem on your css?

431 PointsIn all honesty, Im new at this so I have no idea if it's my css or the html link element. Im thinking it's the html but i could be wrong. Because I didn't get a font from google.com/fonts, like the Pick Fonts and Set Relative Units video, the link element is a bit different. There's a fairly large licensing comment before the link element which it says to include when copying and pasting into my html. However, the link element doesn't include the actual name of the font in it, which i thought it was supposed to.
