[OS X TeX] Installing CM fonts in OS 10.14 Mojave

[Herbert Schulz]

Howdy,

I guess I’m not sure I understand this thread. If you intend to use (pdf/lua/xe)latex you need a TeX distribution, either the one from TeXPad ( sorry, I know nothing about that) or another one (I suggest TeX Live installed via MacTeX). In either case the CM and Latin modern fonts are part of the distribution. 

Good Luck,
Herb Schulz
