Beamer presentation with Palatino font looks different from thesis

Question

In my thesis I used the Palatino font in the whole document (specifically the mathpazo package), therefore I would like to use the same font in a presentation that I'm preparing. The problem is that when I set \usepackage{mathpazo}, the font that comes out in the presentation doesn't look the same as the font in the thesis. Below is an example of what my thesis looks like:

When I use this MWE beamer presentation

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{mathpazo}
\usepackage{palatino}
\mode<presentation> {
\usetheme{Copenhagen}
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number]
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
\setbeamersize{text margin left=5mm,text margin right=5mm}
}

\begin{document}
    \begin{frame}{Info}
        Various ways that AM could help to develop the space industry:
        {\footnotesize \begin{itemize}
                \item Printing of components and replacements
                \item Recycling of materials
                \item Creation of structures that are hard to produce on Earth or difficult to transport to orbit
                \item ISRU
                \item The creation of new materials and parts that may one day be made in microgravity only and may only function there, i.e. they would be truly space based
        \begin{equation}
        F=kx
        \end{equation}
        \end{itemize}}
    \end{frame}
\end{document}

I get the following:

The fonts in the two documents are not the same even though I use the same package. What is the reason for this? I tried adding the package palatino but again the fonts don't look the same.

Answer 1

To enable the use of Palatino in both text and math mode, I suggest you add the instructions \usefonttheme{professionalfonts} and \renewcommand\familydefault{\rmdefault}.

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\mode<presentation> {%
    \usetheme{Copenhagen}
    \setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number]
    \setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
    \setbeamersize{text margin left= 5mm,
                   text margin right=5mm}
}
\usefonttheme{professionalfonts}
\usepackage{mathpazo} % or: {newpxtext,newpxmath}
\renewcommand\familydefault{\rmdefault}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[t]{Info}
