'''Computer Modern''' is the original family of [[typeface]]s used by  the typesetting program [[TeX]]. It was created by [[Donald Knuth]] with his [[Metafont]] program, and was most recently updated in 1992.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/cm.html |title=Knuth: Message about TeX fonts |publisher=Cs-faculty.stanford.edu |access-date=2015-06-12 |archive-date=2015-05-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150520171917/http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/cm.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> Computer Modern and its variants remain very widely used in scientific publishing, especially in disciplines that make frequent use of [[mathematical notation]].
