Computer Modern Roman in Mathematica 8.0

Personally I installed the Latin Modern font for this, which is an OpenType-packaged version of the same font face.

When we set the font in Mathematica using the FontFamily option, we need to use the font name that the operating system uses, not the filename of the font. You can find this by looking at a font chooser dialog in any application.

Example:

Mathematica graphics

The "matex" part is just some package I'm working on to use LaTeX typesetting in Mathematica ;-)
Update: MaTeX is released now.

For this specific font I needed to use the name Latin Modern Roman. Take a look at any font chooser to find out what is the correct name for the font you installed. Note that the same font may show up under different names on different operating systems.


You can install CMU font set here and this answer shows how to change the base font in the stylesheet editor. I did it and it looks fine on my system:
