I strongly agree on the “too thin” point. On screen I find it an awful font, almost as bad as half the 300-weight sans-serifs too many people love to use on their websites. Computer Modern does look better printed, especially on less-accurate printers that thicken what they print.

Related: the serif font Equity comes in two grades to compensate for such types of printers (though both grades are thicker than Computer Modern), and discusses the rationale for this feature: https://mbtype.com/pdf/equity-type-specimen.pdf#page=5

I had no idea one could link directly to PDF pages. Thanks for the tip!

Chrome & other browsers have had PDF reading capabilities for a long, long time. I actually can't remember a time when you couldn't view a PDF inside Chrome/Firefox.

You might also be interested to know that Google indexes PDFs. For example: https://www.google.com/search?q=graph+theory+pdf

I think they were referring to the #page=5 part of the URL.

[flobosg]

Yes, that's exactly what I meant.

Ohhh, that makes a lot of sense -- sorry if my comment came off as patronizing.

Use "filetype:pdf" in the search to get PDF files only, not mentions of them.
