The smallest installations of some TeX distributions will have few fonts. In addition to Computern Modern fonts (default fonts designed by Professor Donald Knuth; they are too light and hard to read online), every TeX installation nowadays should include a number of high quality Type 1 fonts from URW: Avantgarde, Bookman, Helvetica, Palatino, Times Roman, Zapf Chanclery, etc. Except for Palatino and Times Roman, few have matching Math fonts, and the latter may not form part of the smallest installations, so you may need to install them separately.

Read more about font packages on pages 61-64 of the Frequently Asked Questions maintained by the UK TeX User Group, and here.

The Monotype Times Roman Text+Math fonts are available in the mathptx package that is a part of a very important font package psnfss which is installed even in the smallest MiKTeX installation.



On MiKTeX:

open package manager to find out which packages are available, when the most recent version of each package was uploaded to CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network), whether it is installed in your system, and finally giving a one line description of most packages -- very useful!

use the package manager to add new, or update already installed packages, or allow MiKTeX to do this automatically when MiKTeX detects that some package needed to process some files are missing, and you are connected to the internet when this happens.



As a minimum, you should have mathpazofourier (you will need to install: also Adobe's utopia), mathdesign, and
eulervm font support package.

You should also install a number of Bitstream's charter,
