That's Latin Modern (LM) nowadays.

AFAIK there are also math fonts for Palatino (px), Times (tx?),
Helvetica (hx? and commercial) and the Euler fonts that work with
different serif fonts.
And soon (I hope) we'll get math support for the TeXGyre fonts as well.

I'd suggest a readable serif as body font, I like e.g. TeXGyre Schola
(Century Schoolbook) - it's a bit conservative and ill suited for
titling sizes - and perhaps a sans-serif for titlings, e.g. LM Sans or
TeXGyre Heros (Helvetica).

Greetlings, Hraban
