:) The latin modern fonts are designed to look identical to CM but with 
many more accented glyphs and an encoding that makes sense.

Look in psnfss2e.pdf 
(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/latex/psnfss/psnfss2e.pdf) for 
documentation on other postscript fonts that are included in your TeX 
distribution.

There are some other fonts on CTAN you might be interested in as well, 
notably the Bera family and the various new URW ones.

Alternatively, you could try out XeTeX, which provides access to every 
font installed in your Mac OS X system.
