publications - What is the standard/recommended font to use in papers?


I looked around but did not find that anyone has asked this before, but what are the fonts that are standard/recommended while writing academic reports/papers?



Answer



If there's no template, then the choice is yours. However, you should make sure to pick a font that's easy to read. The usual standards in academia tend to be the Times, Helvetica/Arial, and Computer Modern families. This doesn't restrict you from using fonts like Book Antiqua, Myriad Pro, Goudy Old Style, or Garamond, but they're definitely not standard.
