[Tex/LaTex] Fonts in beamer

Question

I've searched these forums like crazy, and I can't find an answer.

I'm trying to create a beamer presentation, and I simply can't set the math fonts to be the regular latex math fonts. I used

\usefonttheme[onlymath]{serif}

or

\usefonttheme{serif}

or

\documentclass[mathserif]{beamer}

and all these do the same – almost perfect job, except for the character $v$ which is always rendered very similar to $\nu$, and it's crucial in my presentation that they'll be distinguishable.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

It turns out that the problem was that I used

\usepackage{times}.

When I remove this package everything is great. In order to keep the nice fonts in the text mode I use

\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage[scaled=0.9]{helvet}
\usepackage{courier}
