I'm kind of ignorant and only know of rumors: What exactly do the
cm-super fonts bring us that lmodern does not provide?  I assume for the
purpose discussed we can mainly neglect small design differences; it's
more about:  Are their additional languages supported, additional
"Schriftschnitte" (no time to look that up, like small caps, slanted
small caps and what strange things more one can design)?
