	Computer Modern - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Modern, or "Didone", fonts have high contrast between thick and thin elements, and their axis of "stress" or thickening is perfectly vertical.
		Computer Modern, specifically, is based on Monotype Modern 8a, and like its immediate model it has a large x-height relative to the length of ascenders and descenders.
		The Computer Modern source files are governed by 62 distinct parameters, controlling the widths and heights of various elements, the presence of serifs or old-style numerals, whether dots such as the dot on the "i" are square or rounded, and the degree of "superness" in the bowls of lowercase letters such as "g" and "o".

	Computer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Therefore, computers with capabilities ranging from those of a personal digital assistant to a supercomputer may all perform the same tasks, as long as time and memory capacity are not considerations.
		Computer operating systems and applications were modified to include the ability to define and access the resources of other computers on the network, such as peripheral devices, stored information, and the like, as extensions of the resources of an individual computer.
		Computer science is a traditional name of the academic study of the processes related to computers and computation, such as developing efficient algorithms to perform specific class of tasks.

		Smaller computers for individual use, called personal computers, and their portable equivalent, the notebook computer, are ubiquitous information-processing and communication tools and are perhaps what most non-experts think of as "a computer".
		Originally, a "computer" was a person who performed numerical calculations under the direction of a mathematician, often with the aid of a variety of mechanical calculating devices from the abacus onward.
		Computers have been used to control mechanical devices since they became small and cheap enough to do so; indeed, a major spur for integrated circuit technology was building a computer small enough to guide the Apollo missions and the Minuteman missile, two of the first major applications for embedded computers.

	Computer Modern fonts
		The Computer Modern font family is a large collection of text, display, and mathematical fonts in a range of styles, based on Monotype Modern 8A.
		The Computer Modern font family is illustrated and fully documented in Volume E of Knuth's five-volume magnum opus Computers and Typesetting:
		Computer Modern is unusual in four important respects, the first two of which are unique in the history of font design:

	Modern Mechanix » COMPUTER MEMORIES
		In a computer the component labeled “memory” serves the functions of storing instructions, data put into the machine and results of computations which are held until they are needed for successive operations.
		In the case of the computing machine, reading and writing are the province of input and output devices rather than the memory, and the rules for multiplication and addition are wired into the machine at the time of its construction.
		In the logical circuits of a modern computer the memory units commonly consist of pairs of vacuum tubes connected in a circuit which is called a “toggle” because of its analogy with a toggle switch.

	Virtual Travelog \| The First Modern Computer - The Case for Baby, the Manchester Mk I Prototype
		It has since become commonly accepted that ENIAC was the worlds first computer when in fact it was not a computer, in the modern sense, at all, and was not even the first of its class.
		The history of computing is replete with rediscovered concepts and ideas so I suppose it is possible that von Neumann was not aware of Turing's work on computability, but not very likely given the fact that he had asked Turing to stay on at Princeton in the 1930's.
		It is clear that the calculating machines of the early 1930's were not computers however, within 20 year innovations in the theory of computability, and advances in electronics, would lead to the modern computer.

	What is computer? - a definition from Whatis.com
		A program may be invariable and built into the computer (and called logic circuitry as it is on microprocessors) or different programs may be provided to the computer (loaded into its storage and then started by an administrator or user).
		Apart from mechanical calculators, the first really useable computers began with the vacuum tube, accelerated with the invention of the transistor, which then became embedded in large numbers in integrated circuits, ultimately making possible the relatively low-cost personal computer.
		Modern computers inherently follow the ideas of the stored program laid out by John von Neumann in 1945.

	Computer Modern and AMSFonts in Type 1 (PostScript) Form
		The PostScript Type 1 implementation of the Computer Modern and AMSFonts produced by and previously distributed by Blue Sky Research and YandY, Inc., are now freely available for general use.
		In addition, to ensure the fidelity of TeX documents using Computer Modern fonts, Professor Donald Knuth, creator of the Computer Modern faces, has requested that any alterations which yield different font metrics be given a different name.
		The Type 1 versions of the Computer Modern fonts (1990) and AMSFonts (1992) were produced by Blue Sky Research of Portland, Oregon, and YandY, Inc., of Concord, Massachusetts, who published the fonts in conjunction with their commercial implementations of the TeX program.

	The Modern History of Computing
		These human computers did the sorts of calculation nowadays carried out by electronic computers, and many thousands of them were employed in commerce, government, and research establishments.
		In analog computers, numerical quantities are represented by, for example, the angle of rotation of a shaft or a difference in electrical potential.
		In 1949, the Manchester computer was successfully equipped with a drum memory; this was constructed by the Manchester engineers on the model of a drum developed by Andrew Booth at Birkbeck College, London.

	Creating quality Adobe PDF files from TeX with DVIPS by Kendall Whitehouse/EMERGE
		The Computer Modern fonts, commonly used with Donald Knuth's TeX typesetting language, are typically rendered as fixed-resolution bitmaps (in TeX's PK format) even though they were derived from device-independent descriptions in Knuth's METAFONT language.
		Since a PDF file is designed to be viewed and printed on a wide range of devicesincluding both computer monitors and printers of varying resolutions, it works most effectively with scalable outline fonts.
		This example assumes that the PostScript language names of the fonts (as referenced by the PostScript language interpreter's findfont operator) are identical to the names of the TFM files used by TeX (as is the case with the BaKoMa fonts).
