[Tex/LaTex] What fonts are used in this formula

fonts

I have been trying to match the following style for some work I am doing but can't see to match the various font weights very well. Does anyone know which fonts are being used?

In particular I can't seem to get the curly l, the 5 pointed asterisk and the right kerning between the fn and x.

That's Helvetica and Courier - probably from using a Times font package \usepackage{mathptmx} (they tend to pull Helvetica and Courier for sans serif and monospaced text). The curly "C" looks like a usual \mathcal. The double brackets are probably from stmaryrd.sty and are called \llbracket and \rrbracket. The star is \star. And the curly l is \ell.

To change the font in tables, use the etoolbox package to modify \@tabular:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[sc,osf]{mathpazo}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{etoolbox}

\makeatletter
\preto\@tabular{\fontfamily{pplx}\selectfont}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
OSF: 0123456789
\begin{tabular}{l}
0123456789
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Using TeX fonts in HTML documents

If you specifically want the Computer Modern fonts on your webpage, your best bet is to use the Latin Modern CM clone, since it is available in OTF format. These could then be used e.g. with @font-face (Fontsquirrel has a good generator).

If you're asking a more general question, e.g. "How do I use any T1 font on my webpage", the answer is a bit more depressing. In that case, your only option would be to generate an OTF font based on the T1 representations. This is nontrivial and presumably time-consuming, but it should be possible using FontForge or similar tools.

tl;dr: Find an OTF alternative if possible, otherwise create an OTF font based on the T1 fonts.
