When linking font in CSS - URL not working correctly.

Hi All,

I am using CSS to link a custom font onto my site. When using the standed code, the // in HTTPS:// turns the url into a comment and therefore doesn't link correctly. Removing the https:// then gives me a syntax error. Everyone doing this online doesn't seem to have this issue at all. Any advice? Code I am using is below;

@font-face {
font-family: 'Curly'; 
src: url (https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ffc1ae692e37d47576a1330/t/639b18c36c2d4e7408135839/1671108803929/CCSignLanguage+Bold+Italic.otf);
}

Thanks!

Place the URL in quote marks, as you did with the font name. You'll then see a line that looks something like this:

src: url ('https://static1.squarespace.com/static/myurlhere/filename.ext');
