Apparently, the default CM should be good at this. From what I remember reading, it was designed having in mind that roman/sans/type combinations should fit one document. Check the "Not so short introduction..". Personally, I find the Computer Modern font much more pleasing -- visually -- than anything I ever used in conventional word processors. Since switching to LyX and CM, I never trully felt the need to experiment with other fonts. As to the "thin (or light)" issue, it may be that the printing resolution is not high enough (try more than 300*300 dpi). Also, increasing the font-size by one (half a) point only could give you sensibly better printed output (size 10 may not be enough). Liviu
