I'm trying to use the "Sawasdee" font in a beamer poster (installed as a TrueType font from fonts-tlwg-sawasdee ubuntu package). I can activate it in a regular (scractl) document by using \usepackage{fontspec} and \setmainfont{Sawasdee}, and compiling with lualatex. However, when I try these commands within the beamerposter document class, the font does not change. I looked at this post: Setting Font attributes in Beamer, but I could not relate the instructions to using this font, which is a TrueType font separate from LaTeX (correct me if this does not make sense). So how can I force beamerposter to use this system font?

Since Beamer uses the sffamily by default, you may need to use \setsansfont{Sawasdee} or if you use \setmainfont you need to use \usefonttheme{serif}. See How do I set the default beamer font to Computer Modern serif – Alan Munn Dec 11 '12 at 4:32
