I know fonts can be hard, but I need help on why this Chalkduster font won't work. Here's the code:
<html>
<head>
<style>
p {
font-family: 'Chalkduster', fantasy;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello</p>
</body>
</html>

231,261 PointsI'm sure it is, but you still need to load it in the browser to make it available on the page.
I'd expect to see something like this (this example is not valid):
<link href="http://fonts.yourcdn.com/css?family=Chalkduster" rel="stylesheet">

Steven Parker
231,261 PointsWell, there may not be a handy CDN serving your font. But if you have a font file you can provide it directly.
Are you creating this in a workspace? If so, be sure you've uploaded the font file and then make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.
