# Beamer and isomath

I would like to use the package isomath (to force slanted capital Greek letters in mathmode) in beamer slides.

Beamer replaces the standard mathmode font with a sans-serif one. However, when using isomath with it, the slanted capital Greek letters appear with the same Serif font used in normal TeX documents. How can I obtain slanted sans-serif capital Greek letters that match the rest of the mathmode font used in Beamer?

MWE:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{isomath}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
I like $\Pi$
\end{frame}
\end{document}


Result:

The \Pi here is rendered using a serif font that does not match the rest of the document.

Try with OMLmaths* option.

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[OMLmaths*]{isomath}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
I like $\mathsf{\Pi}$ and $\mathit{\Pi}$
\end{frame}
\end{document}

This works, but conflicts with \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}. I disabled it anyway. –  Federico Poloni Mar 15 '12 at 8:55

The documentation of isomath tells you that there are not many sans serif math fonts available:

cmbright
arev
iwona
hvmath
lxfonts

With

\usepackage{arev,arevmath}
\usepackage{isomath}


I get a slanted Pi.

You can also try \usepackage{cmbright}.

But this would have the side effect of changing the math font for the rest of the document, wouldn't it? –  Federico Poloni Mar 14 '12 at 21:51
@FedericoPoloni Yes. I don't find the Arev fonts so bad. –  egreg Mar 14 '12 at 22:15
