Computer Modern fonts are very much designed for printing. On a screen, the really narrow parts of each letter are usually close to unbearable.



It depends on the screen and the software. On Linux in Firefox this page's legibility is pretty poor. However, when I was reading this page on iPhone, it was perfectly legible.

Also, Computer Modern on the same screen, but rendered by Okular or Evince, when viewing a LaTeX document, is also perfectly legible.

When it is rendered properly, I find it very pretty and legible.
