Does anyone know what the name is of the font that is used for the numbers on the right hand side of this image.
<the link is to an item on a site that sells party goods but its the font that I would like to identify and use for something else>

Try one of the many font identification websites that are found with a quick Google search. SOme of them allow you to upload images of the font you want identifying.0

Thanks - for future reference on this thread if someone else searches for something similar - I used this site
https://www.fontsquirrel.com/matcherator
It matched to several fonts even though the characters were sideways to start with but all of the matches were paid for versions. However I searched for a generic version of the font names and found similar that were free.

You mean the font on the ticket itself? It looks like OCR-A. See: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/ocr-a/
It's designed for reading by machine (i.e. OCR or Optical Character Recognition).
I'm guessing you want it because of the way it looks, rather than for OCR. But for OCR, there's also OCR-B. See: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/ocr-b/0 -
Yes, font identified as ocr on that web site - links were to paid-for fonts.
I found a similar font that suits my needs for free once I knew what to look for so all good now.

Courier New: it's in all Microsoft font collections.I think this job really needs
a much bigger hammer.

It's nothing like Courier New.
It's FF-OCR-F

Take another look: type the sentence "Pink Ticket Concert Party Invitation" in Courier New, then compare with original.
The only difference is that the original is a little bolder, which can be sorted by using the whole font family or stack.

If you'd actually read the original post properly and checked the facts yourself before you jumped in you would have known the OP was asking about the image, not the web page and the numbers, not the characters, and those are nothing like Courier New.One by one the penguins are slowly stealing my sanity.0 -
Let's all breathe! HTML/web pages were never designed to be universally rendered. There are a lot of layers of bodges including font substitution, CSS font families, webfonts any or all of which may or may not be interpreted in the same manner by different browsers. HTML is a markup language, not an image, we can both look at a page and see it differently, neither being right or wrong, and fonts in particular.
If you want to guarantee we see the same thing, you make an image, a photo, a screenshot.0 -
