You could try Palatino (actually Palladio), Utopia or Bookman

\usepackage{mathpazo}% Palatino
\usepackage{fourier}% Utopia
\usepackage{bookman}% Bookman

The third of these doesn’t have any extra support for maths fonts. The
others do.

For simple LaTeX you can include one of these and comment it out to get
the standard LaTeX fonts.

With a little more work you can use almost any font in LaTeX.
