I very much like the design of the Computer Modern fonts, except that the strokes (mostly the hairlines) are too thin and "spindly", so not well suited to low-resolution devices like computer screens. I guess I'm not alone -- I often see complaints about this. This problem could be solved just by re-running Metafont with some "fatter" parameter values, couldn't it? Has anyone done that?

Alan Hoenig created a package called MathKit. The idea is to define sets of parameters that make the Computer Modern fonts look like standard ones (Times, Palatino, etc.) The Cambria font is nice and fat. I suppose one could use MathKit to create a CM fat-alike of Cambria. Of course, I could just use Cambria, but CM just looks "nicer" to me (somehow).

Metafont has parameters like "blacker" that are intended to adjust rasterization according to the properties of the output device. In ancient times, people used to fiddle with these parameters quite a bit to get good output on the printers of the day (which typically had resolutions of 200 to 300 dpi). Of course, none of this helps if you're using outline fonts rather than bitmap ones. When using outline fonts, the OS or the viewing app handle the rasterization, and it's beyond your control.

Something could perhaps be done by adjusting the hinting of the CM outline fonts, but hinting seems like a black art that hardly anyone knows much about. The standard Y&Y/Blue Sky CM fonts were hinted by real experts, so no further hinting exercise is likely to produce better results, presumably.

One could use a smaller design size, as suggested by NauC in the answer below. This will produce thicker strokes. It will also produce wider characters, but I was thinking I might be able to narrow them again using fontspec's "FakeStretch". The end result (if I'm lucky) will be characters with thicker hairlines.

At huge sizes like this, any rasterization looks fine, of course. I provided the images just so that people could see the outline differences. The important thing (to me) is that the second line looks better than the first one at small sizes in a PDF viewer, so I'm happy with the progress. I am a raw beginner with TeX/LateX, so maybe someone with more expertise can improve my solution. Now I need to figure out how to do the same thing with math.

This post on a german typography board provides a possible solution for this problem. The OP also gives a snippet of Knuth's 'Digital Typography' to show that the CM was never meant to look that thin in print (as it does with modern laser printers; see third snippet).

In case you are only interested in physical prints, you can take a look at the mpfonts package. These fonts wont look good digitally, at-least they don't when I tried, but print fine. The printed document looks nice and the character glyphs come out to be quite black, perhaps this is how they were intended to look, although I agree that this isn't the best solution available for viewing on computer screens. You can take a look at the New Computer Modern fonts for a modern OTF font, with full Unicode support, which come in a thicker "Book" weight.

I have tried installing Computer Modern Unicode fonts on Arch-linux using the following AUR repository here, but in vain. The installation goes smoothly and doesn't produce any errors but I still can't find the CMU-ttf fonts in the /usr/share/fonts/TTF directory. Any ideas ?

The ttf-computer-modern-fonts package provides the cmr10, cmmi10, cmex10, cmsy10 fonts on my system (you can try them in Gimp). If you are installing them for use with the MathML engine, Mozilla suggests to use:

I would like to integrate Mathematica plots in documents that are created with LateX. Therefore I am looking for a command that allows me to create titles and axes labels that have the same appearance as standard LateX output.

If no such command exist it would be very helpful to know the name that is used in mathematica for the Latex default font. I only know it as computer modern and could not find a font with that name in Mathematica. 152ee80cbc
