Re: Google Font

The fragment doesn’t produce any validation errors with the HTML 4 validator, because the legacy DTD validator doesn’t check the syntax of most attribute values (IDs and IDREFs are an exception)

The fragment does produce validation errors when checked as HTML 5, because the HTML 5 validator does check attribute syntax.

The | character has a special meaning in a URL and isn’t allowed in the query string part after ? so needs percent encoded as %7C

The characters allowed are listed here:

You could always URL-encode the "|".  But for me, your fragment validates when properly embedded :

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"<http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd>>
