}You don't have to use CM to use TeX. Using TeX with PostScript fonts
}works fines (provided, of course, that you have a PostScript printer).
}TeX will also use any font designed with MetaFont, of course.

Except --- that TeX's math typesetting uses a whole bunch of
otherwise-nonstandard stuff which your PS printer won't know how to do.  As of
something like a month ago, the word from Adobe is that there is not yet *any*
font family that is "full enough" to allow TeX to strut its stuff.  [And even
then, I think that there is only _one_ font that is promised "real soon now"
... Lucida if I remember rightly, but I'm not sure].

If you think CM is ugly, wait'll you see what your doc looks like with
CM equations in the middle of Palatino running text ... :-(
