[Tex/LaTex] Changing size of greek in mathmode with Times fonts

fontsfontsizemath-modetimes

I'm using mathptmx to write a paper for a conference that wants Times. Everything seems to be working ok, except for the size of the greek letters in mathmode. The greek letters have a larger x-height than the normal text font. Is there a way to adjust the font size of the greek letters to get a closer match?

For example, the following document shows the issue:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\begin{document}
  x$\epsilon$x$\sigma$x
\end{document}

Consider getting the Times fonts by using \usepackage{txfonts} or \usepackage{txfontsb} instead--those packages don't seem to have the same problem.

[Tex/LaTex] Conflict between color, graphicx and libertine

These option clashes happen when a package is requested to be loaded on two different positions, like by you and inside another package, but with different options. The package is loaded by the first \usepackage (or its twin \RequirePackage); it isn't loaded again when it is requested again. It simply can't be loaded a second time. Therefore the new options can be activated and previous options might conflict with the second usage. So LaTeX creates an error to report this issue to you.

The way to fix this is to declare the options beforehand using \PassOptionsToPackage{<options>}{<package>}. Then they are used wherever the package is loaded.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\ifpdf
    \PassOptionsToPackage{pdftex,usenames,dvipsnames}{color}
    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
    \usepackage{libertine} % most likely loads 'color' itself
    %\usepackage{lmodern} % doesn't load 'color'
    \usepackage{color}
    \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\else
    %\bye
\fi
\begin{document}
Hello, world!
\end{document}

I can't test it by myself, because I don't have the libertine package installed.

PS:

I don't think you need to set pdftex manually. Normally packages do a good job recognizing the driver by themselves. Also you might want to use the extended xcolor package instead of color.

Try with OMLmaths* option.

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[OMLmaths*]{isomath}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
I like $\mathsf{\Pi}$ and $\mathit{\Pi}$
\end{frame}
\end{document}
