CSS - Google fonts (Montserrat) not overriding Bootstrap standard font - html

I'm trying to upload the Montserrat font from google fonts on a website I'm building and for some reason it's not happening. I've read a separate Q&A on here that suggests it may be an issue with chrome?
I want Montserrat specifically because it's the closest google font likeness to Gotham.
This is how I have it loaded on my file -
style.css
#import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:400,500,80);
body{
font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;
}
I tried it also in my <head> section in index.html underneath the bootstrap link -
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-beta/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:400,500,800" rel="stylesheet">
I don't know whether it's an issue with bootstrap not wanting to override or a separate issue. Any assistance appreciated.

Follow the below code.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<title>Bootstrap Example</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:400,500,800" rel="stylesheet">
<style>
body {
font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;
}
</style>
<body>
<h1>Montserrat</h1>
</body>

I had a similar issue and this is how I solved it.
First import the "Montserrat" font to the "bootstrap.css"
#import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:400,600,700&display=swap');
then replace the font-family with Montserrat;
body {
margin: 0;
font-family: Montserrat;
font-size: 1rem;
font-weight: 400;
line-height: 1.5;
color: #212529;
text-align: left;
background-color: #fff;
}

Background-Image Function in CSS will apply to individual elements, but won't show on the entire page

I've added the same background-image code line to the h1 tag, and it applies, although only showing the very top of the image. So I know the background-image code itself isn't the problem. Please help! Also, any other general advice is appreciated, I am brand new to HTML and CSS.
Thank You
I've tried adding the background-image element to the h1 tag, and it worked, although it only showed the very top of the image. But when I apply this line of code to the body tag, nothing appears.

Link HTML file with CSS file in Visual Studio

Im a beginner in Visual Studio and my html file/code work fine but my css file doesn't work. My problem is not detected in the workspace.
I also try to do this, nothing happen :
<link href= "CSS\index.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
CSS code :
style
h1 {
background-color: blue;
}
I am also new but I think I can help. You have two options, that I am aware of.
The first and ideal option would be to reference to a separate style.css file to go along side your maim html page (ex: index.html & style.css).
(index.html)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>yourwebsite.com</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<img src="your.jpg" alt="Handsome Man" width="100"
height="100">
<h1><b>your name</b></h1>
<p>your tag line</p>
<a href="https://twitter.com/yourtwitter"</a>
</body>
</html>
(styles.css)
body{
background-color: #f4f4f4;
color: #555555;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: normal;
/* Same as above */
/* font: normal 12px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; */
line-height: 1.6em;
}
h1{
color: #00ff00;
}
p{
color: rgb(0,0,255);
}
The second and worst option is to include your css within your main html file.

<!doctype html>

<head>
<title>Embedded CSS example</title>
<meta name="description" content="A page with embedded css">
<meta name="keywords" content="html css embedded">

}
p {

Make sure the index.css file is inside the CSS folder, then add the below link tag.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./CSS/index.css">

Made a website with GitHub, font doesn't show on all browsers, operating systems, and devices?

I made a website with GitHub and the font I used (Lato) only seems to be showing on Google Chrome, but just on macOS and Android phones. Safari, iPhones, and Windows laptops display Times New Roman instead. I'm not sure what the issue is, since I picked Lato for being a Google font? Shouldn't it work across all browsers/operating systems/devices? Am I supposed to upload the font folder in my GitHub repository? Also don't know if it matters, but my code used "font-family" to call in Lato. Should I not be using that?
EDIT: adding my code for reference

CSS
.title {

.text {
font-family: “Lato”;
font-weight: 300;

}
.bold {
font-family: "Lato";
font-weight: 700;
}
You need to add the following into your <head> tag:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:300,700,900' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
Then your CSS should be as follows:
.body {
font-family: "Lato";
}
.title {
font-weight: 900;
font-size: 3em;
}
.text {
color: black;
font-weight: 300;
}
.bold {
font-weight: 700;
}
Here is a working example: https://codepen.io/fraggley/pen/YzyaNJa
I FIXED IT.
Basically, what caused the issue was enforcing https on my website. The font was linking to an http, so I just changed it to https and now it works :D

Google Font "Merriweather" Is not showing up in Chrome.?

At the top of my code I have:
< link href=" https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather&display=swap" rel="stylesheet" >
And in my CSS I have:
font-family: 'Merriweather', ;
But it is not showing up. I'm not sure what the reasoning is. It seems so simple and yet nothing is working.
Any help would be appreciated.
Here is the top of my HTML:
<link rel = "stylesheet"
type = "text/css"
href = "stylesheet.css" />
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
<head>
<title>Jesse | Personal Chef </title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="description" content="Jesse Personal Chef">
<meta name="keywords" content="Food, Chef, Wilmington, NC, North Carolina Food, In Home Chef, Personal Chef, Chef For Hire, Jesse,">
<meta name="author" content="Cal & Jen T.">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
</head>
This is my CSS, saved in as stylesheet.css:
<style>
/* HEADERS ~~~~~~~~~~ */
h1 {
font-family: 'Merriweather', ;
text-align: center;
font-size: 2.7em;
color: 000;
font-weight: 500;
letter-spacing: 2%;
line-height: 40px;
padding-bottom: -100px;
margin: 2%;
}
.subtitle {
font-family: 'Merriweather', ;
text-align: center;
font-size: 1.04em;
color: 000;
font-weight: regular;
margin: 1;
line-height: 1px;
padding-bottom: 60px;
}
</style>
Thank you
One little fix needed:
Change this:
font-family: 'Merriweather', ;
To this:
font-family: 'Merriweather', serif;
The serif portion is the fail-over font in case it can't find Merriweather.
Test it in this snippet:
<html>
<head>
<link href=" https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather&display=swap" rel="stylesheet" />
<style>
div {
font-family: Merriweather, serif;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>Test</div>
</body>
</html>
You can also just apply the font-family style to the <body> tag and all child elements will inherit that font-family.
Check fonts link:
if you use #font-face rule check link to the folder with fonts and be sure that font files is present in this folder, also check fonts name in #font-face rule and in font-family they must be equal;
if you use CDN - check the link to the CDN;
Open Dev Tools in your browser(Ctrl(Command) + Shift + I) and in the tab Network check whether your font is downloaded or not: https://prnt.sc/r9x8ab;

Copy font specs from Adobe XD to html/css

I have font specs in Adobe XD with screen width 1280px
font: Bold 29px/43px Poppins;
letter-spacing: -0.87px;
And I want to copy this to work responsive in my html/css app, I tried copied it as it is, but doesn't work properly, I just searched for the font and here's its link, How can I achieve this?
You can use this code
body {
font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif;
}
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title></title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Poppins&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
You will need an html file where you include the Poppins font css file.
Then you need to set your media query to refer to your responsive mode.
And then with a simple class selector for the text element you assign the font values from AdobeXd.
#media (max-width: 1280px) {
.text {
font-family: Poppins;
font-weight: 700; /* Bold */
font-size: 29px;
line-height: 43px;
letter-spacing: -0.87px;
}
}
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">

<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
