I also like to use \usepackage{mathptmx} so that equations are set in Times-Roman rather than Computer Modern.

Thanks! I learned a new feature today about LaTeX I didn't know previously.

But now, my \mathcal 'Ƶ' (as in "z ∈ Ƶ") inside equations and embedded math mode looks like a twisted pound sterling character £. Sigh...

As for Computer Modern, in retrospect, it doesn't look all that bad, even if it appears "old". I do like consistency, so mathptmx FTW.

Now to try Lee's suggestions on modern fonts...
