+<h3>Using the Latin Modern fonts</h3>
+<p/>The <i>lm</i> fonts are an exciting addition to
+the armoury of the (La)TeX user: high quality outlines of fonts that
+were until recently difficult to obtain, all in a free and
+relatively compact package. However, the spartan information file
+that comes with the fonts remarks &ldquo;It is presumed that a potential
+user knows what to do with all these files&rdquo;. This answer aims to
+fill in the requirements: the job is really not terribly difficult.
+<p/>Note that teTeX distributions, from version 3.0, already have the
+<i>lm</i> fonts: all you need do is use them. The fonts may also
+be installed via the package manager, in a current MiKTeX system.
+The remainder of this answer, then, is for people who don&rsquo;t use such
+systems.
+<p/>The font (and related) files appear on CTAN as a set of
+single-entry <a href="FAQ-tds.html">TDS trees</a> &mdash;
+<i>fonts</i>, <i>dvips</i>, <i>tex</i> and <i>doc</i>. The <i>doc</i>
+subtree really need not be copied (it&rsquo;s really a pair of sample
+files), but copy the other three into your existing Local
+<code>$TEXMF</code> tree, and
+
+<a href="FAQ-inst-wlcf.html">update the filename database</a>.
+<p/>Now, incorporate the fonts in the set searched by PDFLaTeX,
+<i>dvips</i>, <i>dvipdfm</i>, your previewers and
+Type 1-to-PK conversion programs, by
+<ul>
+<li> On a teTeX system earlier than version 2.0, edit the file
+ <i>$TEXMF/dvips/config/updmap</i> and insert an absolute path for
+ the <i>lm.map</i> just after the line that starts
+ <code>extra_modules="</code> (and before the closing quotes).
+<li> On a teTeX version 2.0 (or later), execute the command
+<pre>
+ updmap --enable Map lm.map
+</pre>
+<li> On a MiKTeX system earlier than version 2.2, the &ldquo;Refresh
+ filename database&rdquo; operation, which you performed after installing
+ files, also updates the system&rsquo;s &ldquo;PostScript resources database&rdquo;.
+<li> On a MiKTeX system, version 2.2 or later, update
+ <i>updmap.cfg</i> as described in the MiKTeX
+ <a href="http://docs.miktex.org/manual/psfonts.html#chgupdmapcfg">online documentation</a>.
+ Then execute the command <code>initexmf --mkmaps</code>, and the
+ job is done.
+</ul>
+<p/>To use the fonts in a LaTeX document, you should
+<blockquote>
+ <code>\</code><code>usepackage{lmodern}</code>
+</blockquote><p>
+this will make the fonts the default
+for all three LaTeX font families (&ldquo;roman&rdquo;, &ldquo;sans-serif&rdquo; and
+&ldquo;typewriter&rdquo;). You also need
+<blockquote>
+ <code>\</code><code>usepackage[T1]{fontenc}</code>
+</blockquote><p>
+for text, and
+<blockquote>
+ <code>\</code><code>usepackage{textcomp}</code>
+</blockquote><p>
+if you want to use any of the TS1-encoding symbols. There is
+no support for using fonts according to the OT1 encoding.
