In my opinion the font looks like Times and not like CM as before.

Commands like \sum for example are producing different kind of serifs.

Was the font change or I'm wrong?

Here is a sample. For me the font is not the default. enter image description here

    $\begingroup$ If it looks like Times now then it must be because you are using STIX fonts. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @AsafKaragila, I'm using Lubuntu 11.10 with Firefox. The only difference from yesterday to today was that I's testing some LuaLaTeX files, changing some default fonts with TeXLive and TeXStudio. Nothing related to my linux system. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I don't know how to restore the font. These Times fonts are so ugly. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ No, that really looks like something local to your computer. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ TeXLive now ships with STIX (and XITS) fonts. (Also, I find Computer Modern ugly. Tastes vary. :p) $\endgroup$

I found the problem/solution.

Yesterday, trying to use otf fonts within TeXLive, I copied the file below to /etc/fonts/conf.d/09-texlive.conf and after I run sudo fc-cache. 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
  <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
  <fontconfig>
  <dir>/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype</dir>
<dir>/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype</dir>
<dir>/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts/type1</dir>
</fontconfig>

Today, I moved that file and run that command again. Now everything is fine like before. Thanks.
