Custom Fonts in Email

Sarah Daily
Has anyone had any luck using custom fonts with Act-On? I tried to follow this guide: The Ultimate Guide to Web Fonts in Email-Litmus Software, Inc. But I'm not having any luck using the <link> call out vs. @import. 

When I placed my code in the header of one of my templates, it auto nested my code in <p> tags:

<p><link href='https://enrollment.org/templates/rt_ricochet/fonts/MuseoSans_300-webfont.woff' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' /></p>

    Just tried this using <style> and it worked at first but Act-On comments out the code after I save it: 

    <style><!--
    @font-face {
    font-family: 'museo_sans300';
    src: url('https://enrollment.org/templates/rt_ricochet/fonts/MuseoSans_300-webfont.eot');
    src: url('https://enrollment.org/templates/rt_ricochet/fonts/MuseoSans_300-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
    url('https://enrollment.org/templates/rt_ricochet/fonts/MuseoSans_300-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
    url('https://enrollment.org/templates/rt_ricochet/fonts/MuseoSans_300-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
    url('https://enrollment.org/templates/rt_ricochet/fonts/MuseoSans_300-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
    url('https://enrollment.org/templates/rt_ricochet/fonts/MuseoSans_300-webfont.svg#museo_sans300') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
    }
    @font-face {
    font-family: 'museo_slab';
    src: url('https://enrollment.org/templates/rt_ricochet/fonts/Museo_Slab_300-webfont.eot');
    src: url('https://enrollment.org/templates/rt_ricochet/fonts/Museo_Slab_300-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
    url('https://enrollment.org/templates/rt_ricochet/fonts/Museo_Slab_300-webfont.woff2') format('woff2'),
    url('https://enrollment.org/templates/rt_ricochet/fonts/Museo_Slab_300-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
    url('https://enrollment.org/templates/rt_ricochet/fonts/Museo_Slab_300-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
    url('https://enrollment.org/templates/rt_ricochet/fonts/Museo_Slab_300-webfont.svg#museo_slab300') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
    --></style>

    But didn't work on the test send:

    Following, as I've also had a lot of trouble getting google fonts to work in an email. I really wish we could just access the <head> of our emails, I don't want to mess around with figuring out Stationary. 

    If I come across a solution to this in my current troubleshooting, I'll post the solution here.
