Appears to be war between fonts. That mean base is same, there is some
difference  in  polishing,  which  normal  user may  not  be  able  to
visualise or appreciate.

What  about comparison  of `Computer  Modern Roman'  and `Times  [new]
Roman'. Popularity  wise, quality  wise, licensing  wise? What experts
have views about these two?

In  `Computer Modern  Roman' when  `f' comes  with `l',  then combined
sometimes  appers  to be  `A'.,  while  `f'  with  `i' appears  to  be
wonderful. Would any one  like to share his/ her  view. Before you say
anything, I want to share with you that my esthetic sense is so so ;-)
