Error: Bummer! Be sure you set the font size to 1.75em for your h1.

h1 { font-family: 'Playfair Display SC', sans-serif; font-size: 1.75em; font-weight: normal; }

I'm not sure where the error is? It seems pretty straight forward.

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Playfair+Display+SC:400,900' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

If that doesn't work, perhaps try a different browser?

The (3rd) challenge question is: Set the size of your H1 to 1.75em and the weight to normal.

So under: h1 { font-family: 'Playfair Display SC', sans-serif; (challenge question 2: passed)

I enter: font-size: 1.75em; font-weight: normal; }

I get this error: Bummer! Be sure you set the font size to 1.75em for your h1.

I tried using double quotes around the font-family type but that made no difference.

I just redid the challenge, and this is my code which worked:

h1 {
  font-family: "playfair display sc", sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
} 

This is your code which didn't:

h1 { 
   font-family: 'Playfair Display SC', sans-serif; 
   font-size: 1.75em; 
   font-weight: normal; 
} 

Apart from me not using capitals and double quotes, I don't see the difference. Maybe try that? The engine can be fussy sometimes.

Your Code looks fine. I have used your code without problems. Try again.

I apologize, this is annoying for something seemingly so easy. I used your exact syntax and again received the same the error. Is this the URL you used for the first challenge question?

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Playfair+Display+SC' rel='stylesheet' type

I'll try a different font for now and see if that makes a difference.

I used the same code in FireFox and it worked. Thanks for your help!

Have you tried double quotes rather than apostrophes? :)
