Math font in beamer?

Post by daviddoria »

In beamerposter, specifically, when I do this:

Code: Select all

$\mathit{\Pi}$ $\mathsf{\Pi}$ $\mathtt{\Pi}$ $\mathcal{\Pi}$ $\Pi$
I just see a bunch of squares, and the normal $\Pi$ is simply 3 sides of a rectangle. Is there some command I can put at the beginning of the document that lets me control the math font like this? Or at least chose a different math font for the global document so that the \Pi looks better?

Thanks,

Dave

Code: Select all

1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,...
