IOC Codes
what typeface is used for Wikitable? I really like the one used in the first column of the IOC codes, different from the one used usually elsewhere. Arorae (talk) 16:57, 26 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure it's exactly the same, but it immediately reminded me of Letter Gothic, which I use regularly in a particular publication which requires certain parts to be written in a clearly readable monospaced font. Hassocks 5489 (Floreat Hova!) 18:16, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks, it looks like a Letter Gothic as a monospaced sans-seriftypeface. But I would like to know how to get it in a table where monospaced letters are required. Arorae (talk) 19:27, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * You can get it by using monospace, but be aware that the actual font used may be browser dependent – other users may see Courier. --Lambiam 20:45, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks 😊 a lot. Arorae (talk) 21:13, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I, for example, see Lucida Sans for body type, Lucida Bright for headings, and Lucida Console for the monospaced matter in question; for such are my settings in Firefox. —Tamfang (talk) 06:09, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
 * It uses a font on your system rather than supplying its own. On a Mac I see Menlo. On a Windows PC using Google Chrome I see Consolas, the default monospace font. You might see something different on a different platform. Blythwood (talk) 05:16, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
