Not quite sure what's wrong the question says to insert your font into your CSS file with a backup font of sans-serif.

h1{
font-family: 'Droid', sans-serif;
}
Droid is a special web font so needs the apostrophes but not the standard sans-serif.

4,569 Pointshello , just add sans-serif after 'Droid Sans', in case if your server can't have acces to http://googlefonts/......
h1{ font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; }
hope this will help

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 11,127 PointsHi Timothy,
It sounds like you need to set your desired font, and then another font if that fails, like so -
font-family: 'Droid sans-serif', sans-serif;
The first in the list will take priority, then you can add as many as you like after that, a 'font-stack'.
Hope that helps,
Ede
