Then I’ve created some styles, eg. ‘heading’, ‘bodycopy’ and ‘specs’ - these are given the font ‘Source Sans Pro’, a font size and colour etc, and given an extended tag of ‘font-weight:400’ or whatever (you can see in the head code that five weights have been chosen). Text is then styled accordingly in the normal FW method.
However, when published the google font is not used and it just falls back on the alt Verdana,Arial,sans-serif.
Am I missing something in the use of google fonts with FW?
The only things I can think of without seeing the page in question is that either the browser you’re using doesn’t support web fonts, the font set has been set up incorrectly, or the browser or system is preventing the font form downloading for some reason.
If you can post a link then we’ll have a better idea of what’s happening.

Sorry I can’t show you a live page, Joe, just running and publishing locally at the moment - although I’m internet connected so the browser should be able to contact googleapi…?
I’m using Google Chrome - one would hope it supports google fonts

No I didn’t make a font-set. I’ve never made a ‘font-set’ in my life! In FW3.5 I always just added a new font if it was needed - I never needed to get involved with font-sets, to the best of my knowledge.
