HTML validation generates error
Question
I am using google fonts and it generates following error for below link
<link href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:100,300,400,700,900,100italic,300italic,400italic,700italic,900italic|Montserrat:700|Merriweather:400italic|Roboto+Condensed|Source+Sans+Pro|Droid+Serif|Open+Sans+Condensed|Oswald|Molengo|PT Sans|Droid Sans')" rel="stylesheet" />
ERROR MESSAGE
Line 35, Column 289: Bad value for attribute
hrefon elementlink: Illegal character in query: not a URL code point.…if|Open+Sans+Condensed|Oswald|Molengo|PT Sans|Droid Sans')" rel="stylesheet" />Syntax of URL: Any URL. For example: /hello, #canvas, or http://example.org/ . Characters should be represented in NFC and spaces should be escaped as %20.
SAMPLE HTML
<html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1" />
<link href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:100,300,400,700,900,100italic,300italic,400italic,700italic,900italic|Montserrat:700|Merriweather:400italic|Roboto+Condensed|Source+Sans+Pro|Droid+Serif|Open+Sans+Condensed|Oswald|Molengo|PT+Sans|Droid+Sans')" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
UPDATE
This generates error
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto%20Condensed|Source%20Sans%20Pro" />
This Works
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto%20Condensed" />
When i add | to add multiple fonts it generates error so should i use multiple <link> tag to add fonts or ?
Confused about this is as below links is generate by on Google fonts font use on website
https://www.google.com/fonts#UsePlace:use/Collection:Open+Sans|Roboto:400,700,400italic|Roboto+Condensed:400,300|Lato

Your example code working with JAVASCRIPT NOTATION LINK and IMPORT may not help to eliminate the VALIDATION error - so please try with JAVASCRIPT notation it works well without any error.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<script type="text/javascript">
WebFontConfig = {google: { families: [ Lato:100,300,400,700,900,100italic,300italic,400italic,700italic,900italic|Montserrat:700|Merriweather:400italic|Roboto+Condensed|Source+Sans+Pro|Droid+Serif|Open+Sans+Condensed|Oswald|Molengo|PT+Sans|Droid+Sans ] }};
(function() {
var wf = document.createElement('script');
wf.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https' : 'http') +
'://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/webfont/1/webfont.js';
wf.type = 'text/javascript';
wf.async = 'true';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(wf, s);
})();
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
You will need to substiture & sign with &
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1" />
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans&subset=latin,cyrillic-ext,greek-ext,greek,vietnamese,latin-ext,cyrillic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
You may please use JAVASCRIPT notation for including the fonts from google
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1" />
<script type="text/javascript">
WebFontConfig = {
google: { families: [ 'Open+Sans::cyrillic-ext,latin,greek-ext,greek,vietnamese,latin-ext,cyrillic' ] }
};
(function() {
var wf = document.createElement('script');
wf.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https' : 'http') +
'://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/webfont/1/webfont.js';
wf.type = 'text/javascript';
wf.async = 'true';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(wf, s);
})(); </script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Few more suggestions
- Always include doctype at the top of HTML page
- Try the IMPORT and JAVASCRIPT alternatives to include the fonts.
- Please use your own google font - to avoid typos I tried with new fonts from google.

The character | is not allowed in the query component (nor anywhere else in a URI). It would have to be percent-encoded with %7C .
So
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:100,300,400,700,900,100italic,300italic,400italic,700italic,900italic|Montserrat:700|Merriweather:400italic|Roboto+Condensed|Source+Sans+Pro|Droid+Serif|Open+Sans+Condensed|Oswald|Molengo|PT+Sans|Droid+Sans')
should be this URI instead
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:100,300,400,700,900,100italic,300italic,400italic,700italic,900italic%7CMontserrat:700%7CMerriweather:400italic%7CRoboto+Condensed%7CSource+Sans+Pro%7CDroid+Serif%7COpen+Sans+Condensed%7COswald%7CMolengo%7CPT+Sans%7CDroid+Sans')

There is a space in the string near the end
PT Sans|Droid Sans')"
should be escaped as:
PT%20Sans|Droid%20Sans')"
