Hi,

As the pipe ( | ) is an illegal character you'll need to encode it with %7C.

This means the following:

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400,400italic,700,700italic,800

will need to become:

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One%7COpen+Sans:400,400italic,700,700italic,800

Hope that helps.
