    I happened (accidentally) to visit your profile today and saw 99 votes and I didn't upvote that nice answer so far!. Very bad on my part. I am priviledged to cast the 100th vote for a nice fellow friend. Keep up the good work Mico. Commented Aug 18, 2014 at 10:53

    @adam - Note that I started my answer with "Here's a non-exhaustive list of..." [emphasis added]. :-) I'm in no position to judge objectively which fonts are "most famous" or are used most frequently, but based on casual empiricism I would have guessed that Times Roman is the single most frequently used (and abused!) font. What math font would you suggest should be combined with charter: Math Design, or something else? Commented Oct 18, 2014 at 11:43

    @MICO -- STIX 2.0, currently under development, has moved quite a bit beyond being a mere Times clone. Tiro Typeworks [tiro.com] has subtly modified the shapes to make the font far more useful both for printing and e-viewing. (I am an AMS employee. The AMS is a part of STIPUB [stixfonts.org/stipubs.html] which sponsors the STIX fonts. A number of problems with STIX 1.0 have also been fixed. Commented Sep 26, 2015 at 10:33
