In xlsfonts, these fonts are named 'computer modern'.
xlsfonts may need a restart to show them.
I can see these fonts in LibreOffice, also named 'Computer Modern'.
The X11 fonts are located in /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1 and have names
like sfrm1000.afm & sfrm1000.pfb etc. They are just links to the Tex
fonts, located in /usr/share/texmf/fonts.
