===Latin Modern===
The Latin Modern implementation, maintained by [[Bogusław Jackowski]] and Janusz M. Nowacki of [[TeX User Group Poland]] (GUST), is now standard in the [[TeX]] community and was made through a [[Metafont]]/[[MetaPost]] derivative called [[METATYPE1]]. It was derived from the BlueSky Type 1 fonts, which were converted back into outline-based METATYPE1 programs, from which then the extended Type 1 and OpenType Latin Modern fonts were developed. [[ConTeXt]] uses Latin Modern as default font, instead of Computer Modern.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wiki.contextgarden.net/FAQ#Can_I_change_to_LaTeX.E2.80.99s_Computer_Modern_font.3F |archive-date=23 February 2024 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/hQz7O |title=FAQ |website=wiki.contextgarden.net |access-date=2015-06-12}}</ref>

The Type 1 to METATYPE1 to Type 1 round-trip conversion process involved in the production of the Latin Modern fonts tried to preserve the hinting information of the BlueSky fonts; however, it introduced [[rounding error]]s that affect the quality of the hinting at low pixel sizes. As a result, on-screen display of the Latin Modern fonts can result in a less even display of kerning and character heights than with the BlueSky fonts.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=11188 |title=LaTeX forum ⇒ Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ A E F and T sized differently in lmodern pacakge? |work=Latex Community |archive-date=23 February 2024 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240223115344/https://latex.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=11188 |author=buster |date=22 December 2010 |access-date=2015-06-12}}</ref>

The same process was later extended to some free PostScript font clones under the umbrella project [[TeX Gyre]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb27-2/tb87hagen-gyre.pdf |title=The New Font Project : TEX Gyre |access-date=2015-06-12 |url-status=live |archive-date=23 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240223114901/https://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb27-2/tb87hagen-gyre.pdf |first1=Hans |last1=Hagen |last2=Ludwichowski |first2=Jerzy B. |last3=Schaa |first3=Volker RW |volume=27 |year=2006 |work=TUGboat}}</ref>

The Latin Modern font has also gained an [[OpenType math]] table.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/lm-math |title=The Latin Modern Math (LM Math) font |language=pl |website=Gust.org.pl |access-date=2015-06-12 |archive-date=23 February 2024 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240223114509/https://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/lm-math}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ctan.org/pkg/lm-math |title=lm-math – OpenType maths fonts for Latin Modern |publisher=CTAN Comprehensive TEX Archive Network |date=2014-09-05 |access-date=2015-06-12 |archive-date=23 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240223114727/https://www.ctan.org/pkg/lm-math |url-status=live}}</ref> Unlike Computer Modern Math, Latin Modern Math has no pairwise kerning information: OpenType math rendering does not make use of this type of kerning, making such information useless.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Sundqvist |first1=Mikael "mickep" |title=opentype math font kern |url=https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/692796 |website=TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange |access-date=24 February 2024 |language=en |date=Aug 5, 2023}}</ref>
