Computer Modern
open-in-new
<p>Computer Modern is the original family of <a href="/facts/Typeface/It41hIjl">typefaces</a> used by the typesetting program <a href="/facts/TeX/HDrl3Yvd">TeX</a>. It was created by <a href="/facts/Donald_Knuth/GozNzDM6">Donald Knuth</a> with his <a href="/facts/Metafont/j7vCXw8s">Metafont</a> program, and was most recently updated in 1992. Computer Modern and its variants remain very widely used in scientific publishing, especially in disciplines that make frequent use of <a href="/facts/Mathematical_notation/vHgEE8cE">mathematical notation</a>. </p>
