 * [@gamewyrd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gamewyrd/) Thank you for posting
   this topic. We’d be happy to look into this. Could you provide the steps you 
   took before receiving this error? Did you change a font family then tried to 
   preview the story? If you could share a screenshot or video using [Imgur](https://imgur.com/)
   or [Recordit](https://recordit.co/) that would be great.

 * Thank you!
 * I have never used Web Stories before. This is a fresh install of the plugin. 
   I am using the default settings.
 * 1) I picked an image from my media library
    2) Set the image as a background 
   3) Used the text tool to add my headlines; filled in the background colour 4)
   Repeated this three times 5) The error was visible on preview 6) and persists
   on publish

 * Thanks for the update! When I follow your [story URL](https://www.geeknative.com/web-stories/godforsaken/)
   I no longer see the “400: Missing font family” message. The story previewed successfully.

 * I can confirm the error has gone. Thank you!
 * I guess it’s a risk of external factors, eh?
 * I appreciate the time you spent on this and with me. Thank you.
