What fonts look like Computer Modern?

[Geo]

Hi, is there anyone who can suggest fonts that look passably like
Computer Modern?

I'm on OS X 10.5.6 so if the fonts recommended are part of OS X that
would be a major plus!

Many thanks in advance,

My understanding is that CM is based on Monotype Modern 8A, but
I'm not sure just how helpful that will be to you. If you're
looking for a way to use these fonts in a non-TeX setting,
then, if you can make do with Unicode TrueType, Richard Kinch
has a set of CM text fonts (only, no math) available for free
at

http://www.truetex.com/

(the "um fonts"). They are in a Windows ANSI encoding, which
may be a problem with the Mac, but you can always experiment.
I suppose another possibility would be to obtain the Type1
versions from eg the Am Math Society and re-encode them
yourself.

The Latin Modern (LM) Family of Fonts[1] from GUST may be helpful to
you.

YOU'RE THE ONE. MANY, MANY, MANY THANKS.
Been looking for that font since my first thesis. I had forgotten the name.

May Odin & Zeus grant you all the wishes in the universe.
