I'm preparing a presentation using foiltex and it contains a reasonable
amount of math. I, too, would like a consistent, sans serif math font used in
my presentation. Using your suggestion works for some numbers and letters,
but ruins all greek letters and even simple operators like ">" and "<".
I've got a LaTeX book and looked up \DeclareSymbolFont. I've since tried the
following:
\DeclareSymbolFont{symbols}{U}{cmss}{m}{n}
\DeclareSymbolFont{largesymbols}{U}{cmss}{m}{n}
This failed miserably. Note that I am a novice with LaTeX. I am assuming
that sans serif fonts for typesetting math aren't a part of standard LaTeX.
Or perhaps there is some other way to achieve this. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Kevin Gross
