OK, to be clear:
* with IEEEtran document class, I recommend GUI settings Default for text
fonts (as IEEEtran selects Times) and newtxmath.
* Generally (i.e. with document classes that do not select a font), I recommend
- Latin Modern with standard AMS math, or
- Times or Palatino or Linux Libertine with newtxmath, or
- Fourier (the Fourier package combines the Utopia text font with its
own math fonts).
