Internal Google Font CSS

We are looking to place the Google Font for Open Sans within the <head> tag rather than insert it onto the page using <link rel="stylesheet" href="//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans" media="all">.

What is the correct way to insert this into the <head> tag of the page?

We tried the following, but cannot find whether or not this is correct.

<html>
<head>
<style>
/* cyrillic-ext */
@font-face {
  font-family: 'Open Sans';
  font-style: normal;

<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/css1.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/css2.css">
</head>
<body>
  ... some body ...
</body>
</html>

Within the css1.css, we do the following:

body {
  font-family: 'Open sans';
}

Solution

Well, if you actually apply the Style by using e.G.

body {
    font-family: 'Open Sans';
}

you will see that the new font is applied to the body. So it is working. Cf. the Mozilla Docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@font-face
