Default latex font

Default latex font

[Xavier J. B. L.]

Hi,

I know that Context uses Latin Modern instead of Computer Modern that 
use Latex. I want to know how to change it.

Thank you very much,
Xan.

\usepackage[lmodern] should work.

Cheers, Peter

In context?
I want to change Latin Modern to Computer Modern in context.

Thanks,
Xan.

Why? LM is the better version of CM, visually the same font.

lm is meant as a replacement for cmr, plr, csr, aer, vnr, whatever-r 
around ... it's metric compatible so it makes no sense to use cmr any 
more (which was the whole idea behind starting the lm project); the same 
is true for tex gyre

Perhaps it's better, but I like much cm.
I want to change. It's technically possible to change it?

Thanks,
Xan.

Sure, you just have to define your own typescripts and install the fonts  
(eg bluesky version). There are some howto's out there for installing  
postscript fonts in ConTeXt (see the wiki:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts ), and make sure you take optical  
scaling into account (my article discusses that).

The only thing that I've noticed is that bluesky cmr seems to be hinted  
better and looks better on-screen at certain sizes than the lmr postscript  
fonts.

OTOH I see no reason for using cmr. For all practical purposes lmr IS cmr.  
If you find an area where there is a substantial difference, I'd like to  
see it :-)

Best wishes
Idris
