About:
New Computer Modern is a font family that extends the classic Computer Modern fonts with additional weights, italics, and support for many languages and scripts. It is designed for high-quality typesetting in technical documents, offering improved legibility and a comprehensive set of glyphs. This makes it an excellent choice for academic papers, programming documentation, and general system use.
Key Features:
  • Extends the classic Computer Modern design with new weights and styles
  • Broad language and script support for international use
  • Optimized for screen readability and professional print output
  • Includes serif, sans-serif, and mono variants for a complete toolkit
Use Cases:
  • Typesetting academic papers and technical documentation
  • Enhancing the default fonts for a Linux desktop environment
  • Programming and viewing source code with a clear, readable typeface
Alternatives:
  • font-dejavu – DejaVu provides extensive Unicode coverage but has a different, more utilitarian aesthetic compared to Computer Modern's classic book style.
  • font-lato – Lato is a modern sans-serif font, suitable for user interfaces but lacks the serif characteristics needed for long-form text and academic typesetting.
