Ironically, Computer Modern is terrible to read on computer displays. It was designed for ink and toner bleed, and looks great when printed on 1970s-era Xerox printers [1], but it's far too thin for digital rendering.

I might suggest Bitstream Charter for a well-designed and readable analogue to CMR for digital use.

That is the Type 1 realization of it, the original Metafont outputs bitmaps tailored for the target device. Unfortunately no widely font rendering library supports Metafont directly, so they are often converted to Type 1 or OpenType and loose that capability.

A very good font family for screens that's openly licensed is Inter[2]. It's well designed and also quite versatile.

Out of interest, what are the advantages of LaTeXML over Pandoc's LaTeX to XML/HTML conversion? Why did you choose LaTeXML?

This is super cool, thank you for sharing!
