[Tex/LaTex] Find ShareLaTeX default font type

fontssharelatex

I need to use in Word the same font type as in ShareLaTeX. ShareLaTeX explains the font types they use here, but I'm uncapable of finding which one is the default one. Is it Computer Modern Roman or Latin Modern Roman?

Is there any way to find it out?

I checked the pdf file produced by ShareLaTeX and the file properties of the pdf reports a dozen of different font types starting with "CM" (e.g. CMBX12, CMCSC10, CMMI6, etc.). Is it Computer Modern then?

Any help much appreciated!

The font used is Computer Modern, but when using that font in MS Word, you should get the font in .ttf or .otf format with proper Unicode coding. There is a Unicode version of Computer Modern with those formats that you can download here.

Related to the linked question in the comment by Jubobs How do I use a particular font for a small section of text in my document? , you can use:

\newtheoremstyle{mytheoremstyle} % name
        {\topsep}                    % Space above
        {\topsep}                    % Space below
        {\itshape\fontfamily{ptm}\selectfont}                   % Body font
        {}                           % Indent amount
        {\fontfamily{ptm}\selectfont\scshape\color{blue}}                   % Theorem head font
        {:}                          % Punctuation after theorem head
        {.5em}                       % Space after theorem head
        {}  % Theorem head spec (can be left empty, meaning ‘normal’)

Here the complete MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsmath,amsthm}
\usepackage{xcolor}

\newtheoremstyle{mytheoremstyle} % name
        {\topsep}                    % Space above
        {\topsep}                    % Space below
        {\itshape\fontfamily{ptm}\selectfont}                   % Body font
        {}                           % Indent amount
        {\fontfamily{ptm}\selectfont\scshape\color{blue}}                   % Theorem head font
        {:}                          % Punctuation after theorem head
        {.5em}                       % Space after theorem head
        {}  % Theorem head spec (can be left empty, meaning ‘normal’)
\theoremstyle{mytheoremstyle}
\newtheorem{lemma}{Lemma}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\lipsum[3]
\begin{lemma}[foo bar]
\lipsum[3]
\end{lemma}
\lipsum[3]

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] the default font type (OT1, T1, T3, etc.) used in AMS document classes (amsart, etc.)

the ams document classes specify only computer modern fonts, all available as type 1. however, these fonts are based on OT1 encoding, which is suboptimal for languages with accented letters.

using the "latin modern" fonts (also type 1, and based on the T1 encoding) instead usually produces good results with few significant differences in appearance.

according to the documentation for the aecompl package, the ae fonts are "virtual" fonts built mostly from the (type 1) cm fonts, except for a few characters that don't exist in the cm complement. so, in most cases, the results should be equivalent to that from using cm fonts directly.

however, given that the latin modern fonts are based on much the same model as cm, with the added advantage of having precomposed accented letters, i see no reason not to specify \usepackage{lmodern}. i know of no conflicts with the ams document classes.
