The TeXbook, METAFONT book and other books in the series are set in
Computer Roman. I don't find them displeasing.

Here, on our Raven print engine, the native fonts look better, possible
because the Raven is a write-white engine (hope I got that right). On
the other hand, I have seen really anemic troff glyphs from an Imagen
8/300.

So it would seem local printing conditions have a lot of effect on the
appearance.
