I'm trying to use font lato in a beamer
presentation. Normal text should be using the light font (please, let's not discuss typography here -- I know). According to the font catalogue, I get it like so:
\fontseries{l}\selectfont
Extrapolating from how we can set "complex" font families (seen here), I tried this:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[default]{lato}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\setbeamerfont{normal text}{series=\fontseries{l}\selectfont}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
Test\\
{\normalfont Test} \\
{\fontseries{l}\selectfont Test}\\
\textbf{Test}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
But the result is not as expected:
There are no error messages.
How can I tell beamer
to use the light font series?
I'm happy to accept solutiond for either pdflatex or lualatex.
