The standard font used for the Wikipedia logo is 'Hoefler Text'. IIRC it comes with most Macs; not sure offhand where to get it on other systems.
I just tracked down where to purchase it (https://www.typography.com/storefront/) but found a distinct 'issue' which is somewhat insurmountable. The price.
Hoefler Text & Hoefler Titling 1 CPU License US$ 398.00
and that is listed as a "Special Offer: Save $100 on Hoefler Text and Titling" ffs!
If we end up 'correcting' the glyphs in the globe could we please use a free-as-in-beer font for the colophon and text too? There are open source fonts and to use this particular font is restrictive and way too expensive to be reasonable for projects such as ours.

Hoefler Text, as sold at its site, also forbids the distribution of SVG logos.
"You may not create Embedded Documents, except as expressly provided in paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3:" "3.2. Workflow PDFs" "3.3 Flash Files."
I personally propose the adoption of Junicode font family for all Latin-based logos.
