Yep! They are pretty standard and my distribution of MikTeX is the most
complete you can find anyway :)) .

I'll use CM for the normal text yes. I still have to see how to use the CM-
super fonts (I've installed them and modified the files I had to modify, but
until now I didn't see any file I made using them. Maybe there's something i
missed :(( ).

Well, obscurity of material is not a problem, it's a feature ;)) . As for the
length, fifteen pages is a nice maximum, appendices included (go ahead if you
want to make appendices, I've worked on them just today and managed to make
each article having its own set of appendices :)) . Not that it was
difficult :)) ). 10 pages would be optimum since your article won't be the
titlepage article. I wouldn't recommend longer articles or the whole thing is
gonna look much too unbalanced (although with an article of 15 pages it would
already be quite unbalanced ;)) ). If you go above that limit, don't worry
anyway and just send me the whole thing :)) .
