Simply accepting LaTeX's default is a terrible solution because it
leaves the n00b wondering why their pdfs look jagged.  Personally, I'd
like to see these two dialog box notifications.

Upon view/export:
  Warning: You have not yet selected a font for this document.  The
default font may not be optimized for viewing.  Would you like to
select a font now?

Upon the ill-fated selection of CM:
  Warning: The font you have selected (Computer Modern) is a bitmap
font, which is not optimized for viewing.  We recommend that you
select a different font such as Latin Modern, which is a Computer
Modern substitute.  Would you like to select a different font?
