LaTeX: changing the url font

I had a little trouble when I turned a bunch of urls in a table in my thesis into \url{http://...} url's, which are then clickable urls in PDF files. Because of the \url command, the font changed into the standard typewriter format. Though I don't mind this for the occasional url (it makes them better identfiable as urls), in this case, my nicely fitted table didn't fit the page anymore because the font was too big.

I searched around a while to find the \urlstyle{} command, for example in this pdf but it took me a little while before I got it. I finally defined a command "urlwofont" (url without font) that makes anything liek \urlwofont{http:///} a clickable url but without a font change - the font stays the same as the rest of the text:

at the top of the file (below \usepackage{url} somewhere):

\newcommand{\urlwofont}[1]
{
\urlstyle{same}\url{#1}
}

then use \urlwofont{http://www.karinvandenberg.nl} in the text to get the url without the url font
