4,249 PointsCorrect way to include fallback in Code Challenge?
h1 { font-family: 'Changa One', 'sans-serif'; }
Is this not the correct way to include your font and fallback? I do this, in the code challenge and yet it keeps saying to include the sans-serif fall back...confused? Wondering if it could be perhaps because I'm on a VERY old XP machine?

If you put quotes around sans-serif then the browser looks for a font named "sans-serif"
You want to leave the quotes off because you want to use the keyword sans-serif Any font name keywords should be unquoted.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsYou're welcome.
Did the validator say there was an error? There wasn't anything wrong with your css. It just wasn't what the challenge wanted.
