Hi everyone,
I'd like my font style to use one of Google Font's font.
This is a demo I use of how to do so:
Code: 
<html>
  <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
          href="[URL unfurl="true"]https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Tangerine">[/URL]
    <style>
      body {
        font-family: 'Tangerine', serif;
        font-size: 48px;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div>Making the Web Beautiful!</div>
  </body>
</html>
Uploading the above page I see this on my display:
to_forum1_d5x5e2.gif

Unfortunately, "Tangerine" is not the font I need.
From "Google Font" selection showm in the following image:

I selected 'Rubik' but then I didn't get the desired font.
Could anyone please explain the right way to get a font from Google Font ?
Thanks

Hi

The sample on your screenshot contains Hebrew script. Are you intending to use it for that ? Then you have to ask for them in the URL :

[ignore][/ignore]

Otherwise the font works fine for me with Latin script. My knowledge seems to be weak to test with Hebrew too. :-(

When you select a font from google fonts Google builds the <link> for you so all you need to do is copy it to your html document. If you click the + sign next to the font you get a black bar at the bottom of the browser window. click it, and it will show the embed link you need to copy.

With that said, the font you show for Rubik is the Hebrew variation, but you need to actually write in Hebrew for it to show hebrew characters. It does not simply take the letter "a" and turn it into a hebrew character for instance. It has support for the extra characters to write in Hebrew.

If "Tangerine" works, you have the correct method.
