[Pro] Text Font

Hi Gang,

Can anyone tell me what font is being used whenever a website article
refers to text entered into a text editor? My question may not be clear
(or an accurate use of the proper terms), so here’s an example:

<Managing legacy links with .htaccess - Freeway - Softpress Talk
Managing+legacy+links+with+.htaccess>

After the 8th paragraph, the text I’m referring to is
“site:www.example.com” just after “For example”.

Thanks,
Richard

Hello Richard.
If you use TextWrangler, it’s plain text (NO font)
even though it graphically looks like a courier, it’s not.
If what you mean is to know what font is represented there, I’d say, it’s courier
Hope it helps

This particular page has Courier New as the font, but you can use any
mono-spaced font. A good “cascade” of fonts for this purpose would be

'Andale Mono', 'Courier New', Courier, mono

Create a new text style with that as the font-set, and you should be
able to style runs of computer code as you like.

There’s another tag, but unfortunately Freeway doesn’t “do” it. If you
want to set a block of computer code, where white-space is often
significant, you would use the

 tag instead of a paragraph, or
the
 construct to indicate that the contents are computer
code. In any browser, without any extra effort, this gets you the
computer code look, and it also stops the normal behavior of HTML,
which is to collapse runs of spaces or tabs into a single space. When
you use any of the handy code-block formatters on the Web view of this
list, you get that exact construction:

<pre><code>
	One   Two   Three
	Four  Five  Six
</code></pre>

it’s Courier New. For reference, so you can do it yourself:
Select the text in Safari, click and hold on the selection and drag it into a new TextEdit document. Making sure it’s selected there as well, hit Apple-T to bring up the Fonts panel, where the font used will be highlighted.
