\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 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}.

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.

\begin{otherlanguage}{french}
Frères humains, qui après nous vivez,\\
N'ayez les cueurs contre nous endurciz,\\
Car, si pitié de nous pouvres avez,\\
Dieu en aura plustost de vous merciz.\\
Vous nous voyez cy attachez cinq, six:

\noindent Quant de la chair, que trop avons nourrie,\\
Elle est pieça devorée et pourrie,\\
Et nous, les os, devenons cendre et pouldre.\\
De nostre mal personne ne s'en rie,\\
Mais priez Dieu que tous nous vueille absouldre!\\

\noindent \textsc{François Villon}, \frquote{Ballade des pendus}
