steve simmons (comp.text.tex, 12 august 1992) is looking for
size-independent computer modern fonts.
what he is looking for does not exist.  computer modern is based
on the philosophy that different sizes require certain variations
in design that are not implementable through linear scaling, and
i have yet to see a run-time font-generating system that provides
for the rather large number and different kinds of parameters that
are used to control the particular cm variations specified by the
designer (knuth).  maybe sometime, but not yet, and not unless
knuth says the result is cm.
