[net.text] Computer Modern vs. Century Schoolbook

elwell@osu-eddie.UUCP (Clayton M. Elwell) (07/28/85)

I was looking through a type specimen book today and noticed that
the typestyle called "Century Schoolbook" is to my eye almost identical
to Donald E. Knuth's "Computer Modern Roman", although I couldn't
compare samples side by side.

Does anyone know if this resemblance is coincidental or purposeful?
It seems unlikely that is was due to chance, and my curiousity has been
aroused.
