I didn't know about the lmodern package. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I am downloading it right now and I'll try it soon. Now if it only included the Concrete Mathematics Type 1 fonts, I would be the happiest man.

The math font when you \usepackage{lmodern} *is* Computer Modern.

Oops! I didn't say Computer Modern. I said the fonts that Knuth used in
Concrete Mathematics (those which are included if one uses the beton
and euler package).

I think that a subset of the the Concrete Mathematics fonts are called
Euler, but I'm not sure. I think that they are quite readable -- even
more than Computer Modern (the Concrete Mathematics fonts feature blob
serifs and have high x-height and cm-super includes them).

This is, BTW, one of the main reasons why I would love to have cm-super
available in Debian, but having T1 encoded Computer Modern fonts available in Type 1 is quite nice.

The math font doesn't really need to be enhanced for non-US charsets like
the text fonts do.

Amazing. I hope that the unstable version enters testing soon.

In 6 days, if everything goes well.

Thanks for pointing me to that page and I'm hoping to install the new
version of the package soon.


Thank you for your reply, Rogério Brito.
