My goal is to choose a "nice" font family (serif, sans serif, monospace, and "math") for my basic LaTeX template.

I know the default setting ( Computer Modern 's family) is a very good choice. However, I want something a bit less "by default", a bit less "used by everyone else"... Also, I would like something with an increased readability (relative to the default setting, i.e. Computer Modern ) both for on paper reading and for on screen reading, and something that is at least as good with math typing and printing. Finally, I would like a solution that I could easily use on other computers or give/suggest to a friend (i.e. it should ideally come with most standard LaTeX distributions at the present time (June 2012)). These are my motivations or goals.

Initially, I used pslatex which uses Times, Helvetica, and Courier (or slightly modified versions of them). But then I discovered that pslatex is outdated, and that I should use either (just) txfonts or (the three) mathptmx , helvet ([scaled=.90]), and courier . Then I read that tgtermes is better (or at least prefered by some people). Even later (June 2012), I then heard that newtx is even better ( \usepackage[varg, cmintegrals, cmbraces, ]{newtxtext,newtxmath} ).

But in the newtx / newtxtext / newtxmath documentation (and the internet follow-up searches), I got very confused about using lmodern , textcomp , bm , amsmath , amsfonts , amssymb , libertine , libertineotf , libertine-legacy (edit: initial post had a mistake ('libertine-heritage')), etc...

Now I am completely lost!

Considering my motivations, what would you answer me if I asked you:

which ones could I use ('alone'),

which ones could I use together,

which ones "should" I use ('alone'), and

which ones "should" I use together?

Added "bonus" problem: I would like to keep the characters per line ratio to a nice, comfortable level (i.e. between 60 and 75), and, ideally, to be able to set it. (Please directly see, answer, and refer to: Nicely force 66 characters per line)

Note: I work on both Windows and Unix/Linux. I compile with pdflatex (sorry don't know what capitalisation makes most consensus :))

Here I present you a reduced version of my template, relevant to this question (for you to play with if you want to). Note that I added a second, updated version of this template as edit at the end of this question post. Feel free to use it.

Trying to wrap up and put everything together (after both this post and "Nicely force 66 characters per line", I give here my template with whatever I felt was most relevant (or cool :)). Enjoy!
