But with
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Hello
\end{document}
the log says
</usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr10.pfb>
The font used is not the original computer modern font, but the
Postscript Type 1 version of it designed by Bluesky/Textures and
given by them to the AMS.
A question : when you use a Type 1 font, TeX do a big lot of work to
transform it into a pk font, this is registered in the log. But
nothing appear when you use Type 1 CM. Is it because the work has
already been done and the output is kept somewhere in the TeX tree ?
