The below font style links are referred in the page.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Great+Vibes">

In the above sample, you can see that we have added two Google web fonts (Roboto and Great vibes) to RTE.
