Linked font won't render on site...

Hey everyone...

I am working on a new site: Labrador Connect

I added a Google Font but it is showing up as Times New Roman. I can't find the conflict and it's driving me crazy. 🙂

Does anyone see the problem? I appreciate any help you may offer!

Please see the screenshot below...this time, in Chrome. It is this text, "Labrador Connect."


That's neither the default serif, nor Times New Roman, which doesn't occur in your stylesheet ever. I'm guessing it's just a type-o in your screen grab and you meant to say "serif".

That is what Taviraj displays as when set to a font-weight:200.

Increase the font-weight and you'll see Taviraj is working, it's just not much different from a default serif when it's that light. Here's a direct comparison...

When things don't work as expected, it's often caused by code errors.  I see 36 errors you might want to take care of 1st.

I'm seeing the Taviraj font in Firefox on Windows 7.

Could it be a browser cache issue on your end?

That's so odd. In Firefox, for me, it appears as Serif. I hadn't ever even opened the site in that browser before.

Where are you seeing the default serif font exactly?

I'm seeing Taviraj Thin and Black on your headings...
