> The Latin Modern family of fonts is based on the Computer Modern fonts

> contain a lot of additional characters, mainly accented ones, but not only.
> The current distribution contains:
> Latin Modern fonts in the PostScript Type 1 and OpenType formats,
> source files for MetaType1 plus all requisites for using the fonts with
> TeX/pdfTeX; there is one set of PostScript fonts and five sets of TeX Font
> Metric files, corresponding to:
> -- EC (Cork) encoding (ec-*.tfm),
> -- QX encoding (qx-*.tfm),
> -- TeX'n'ANSI aka LY1 encoding (texnansi-*.tfm),
> -- T5 (Vietnamese) encoding (t5-*.tfm),
> -- Text Companion for EC fonts aka TS1 (ts1-*.tfm).
> LaTeX *.sty and *.fd files were also added plus a few test files.

> Most important recent changes:
> We fixed some annoying bugs (e.g., improper positioning of some accents
> in our lovely ;-) lmtlc10 and discrepancies between widths of oldstyle
> and normal digits in several fonts) and added a ``dense'' or Euro Letter
> encoding on Hans' demand.
Thanks for the upload.

lm – Latin modern fonts in outline formats
The Latin Modern family of fonts consists of 72 text fonts and 20 mathematics fonts, and is based on the Computer Modern fonts released into public domain by AMS (copyright © 1997 AMS). The lm font set contains a lot of additional characters, mainly accented ones, but not exclusively. There is one set of fonts, available both in Adobe Type 1 format (*.pfb) and in OpenType format (*.otf). There are five sets of TeX Font Metric files, corresponding to: Cork encoding (cork-*.tfm); QX encoding (qx-*.tfm); TeX’n’ANSI aka LY1 encoding (texnansi-*.tfm); T5 (Vietnamese) encoding (t5-*.tfm); and Text Companion for EC fonts aka TS1 (ts1-*.tfm).
