To consistently use a [[monospaced font]] with well-designed characters for coding so as to clearly distinguish between <code>l</code>, <code>1</code>, and <code>I</code>, and between <code>O</code> and <code>0</code>, and between <code>-</code>, <code>−</code>, <code>–</code>, and <code>—</code>, the system-default monospaced font can be changed:
Add something like one of the code snippets below into your {{samp|[[Special:MyPage/common.css]]}} page, replacing {{kbd|"Roboto Mono"}} with whatever your preferred coding font is (Roboto Mono was picked as a freely-available coding font [https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto+Mono] for this example).▼
If like it as-is, you can simply <code>@import</code> (transclude) it: see [[meta:User:SMcCandlish/codefont.css]] for quick instructions.
This code will do the following:▼
* Apply a consistent monospace font of your choice (and the fallback system-default {{samp|monospace}}, should that font go missing or not have characters you need) to all the normally monospaced HTML elements like {{tag|code|o}}, {{tag|pre|o}}, etc.▼
▲
* Do the same for additional site-wide classes (as identified so far, e.g. <code>.userlinks</code>) that output as monospace.▼
▲* Apply a consistent monospace font of
* Fallback to system-default {{samp|monospace}} font, should the chosen font be unavailable or lack the necessary characters.
* Do the same for the output of all [[:Category:Example-formatting templates|Example-formatting templates]], such as {{tlx|mxt}} and {{tlx|xt}}.
▲*
* Make the three most frequently encountered editing fields also use this font stack: the main editing window, the edit summary line, and the search entry box.
* If
▲If you know of an additional class to add here, please update this page or mention it on [[Template talk:Mxt/User CSS for a monospaced coding font|the talk page]].
<!--DO NOT ADD var TO THIS LIST! It must be able to inherit the font of surrounding text, because it is used outside code, as in "If <var>A</var> then <var>B</var>", and in math equations.-->

If you'd like to help clean up instances of the {{tag|{{!mxt|tt}}}} element – which has not been valid HTML since the 1990s, and should usually be replaced with {{tag|{{mxt|code}}}} (this may vary by context) – you can add something like the following to your {{samp|common.css}} to make {{tag|tt|o}} stick out like a sore thumb:▼

You can also do this with {{tag|font|o}}, {{tag|center|o}}, {{tag|strike|o}}, and other [[Wikipedia:HTML 5#Obsolete elements and attributes|deprecated elements]]. For CSS you can just import for this, see [[meta:User:SMcCandlish/lint.css]].<noinclude><!--
