Another possibility is to adjust Computer Modern. This is comparatively easy because it's a parameterized metafont. I've modified it before by altering its parameters, you can see the result here (17 point version): Original http://i30.tinypic.com/2u7yg6f.png Modified http://i28.tinypic.com/vecc4x.png However, I regret I have no time for such a project at the moment.
