 \maketitle
-MLModern is a text and math font family with \hologo{(La)TeX} support, based on the design of Donald Knuth's Computer Modern and the Latin Modern project. Some find the default version of Computer Modern used by default in most \hologo{TeX} distributions to be spindly, sometimes making it hard to read on screen as well as on paper. The original Computer Modern is a \hologo{METAFONT}, and so, before the advent of the Type 1 versions, it was rendered as a bitmap whenever it was to be printed. There are already a number of ways of getting a sturdier version of Computer Modern. One can simply generate bitmaps the old-fashioned way, using a mode which provides for blacker output, such as \texttt{lexmarkr}; this works well in print (so long as you are targeting the correct \textsc{dpi}), but produces mediocre results on screen. The author's own \texttt{mpfonts} package provides support for Type 3 PostScript fonts which are direct translations of the original \hologo{METAFONT} source into vector images, but these do not fare much better on paper and are usually even less readable on screen. Further, the original OT1-encoded Computer Modern fonts have lacking support for many non-English languages. The highest-quality adaptation of the Computer Modern design to non-OT1 encodings is Latin Modern, which provides more glyphs and good accent placement, but is still too spindly. MLModern is blacker drop-in replacement for Latin Modern. To use it, simply add \texttt{\textbackslash usepackage\{mlmodern\}} to your preamble, or (for non-\hologo{LaTeX} use) replace references to \texttt{lm*} fonts with those to \texttt{mlm*} ones. You must have the Latin Modern fonts installed, since this package expects their encoding files to be present. MLModern is available in unhinted Type 1 format, and should be good for both printing and on-screen reading.

Some find the default vector version of Computer Modern used by default in most \hologo{TeX} distributions to be spindly, sometimes making it hard to read on screen as well as on paper; this is in contrast with the older bitmap versions of Computer Modern. MLModern provides a sturdy rendition of the Computer Modern design.

+MLModern is based on Latin Modern, a version of Computer Modern with enhanced multilingual support. For basic use, add \texttt{\textbackslash usepackage\{mlmodern\}} to your preamble, or (for non-\hologo{LaTeX} use) replace references to \texttt{lm*} fonts with those to \texttt{mlm*} ones. You may also replace the Computer Modern and Latin Modern fonts (as well as the Vn\TeX\ fonts, etc.) without modifying a \hologo{TeX} file (or changing metrics) by using the map file \texttt{mlm-substitute.map} with \texttt{dvips} or \hologo{pdfTeX}.
