I need to typeset some variables in math mode that are bold and slanted. I tried to use \boldsymbol
(\usepackage{amsbsy}
) and \bm
(\usepackage{bm}
). However, neither of them work.
MWE:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{amsbsy}
\usepackage{bm}
\begin{document}
\frame{
\frametitle{Bold}
\begin{itemize}
\item $\boldsymbol{R}$ versus $R$
\item $\bm{R}$ versus $R$
\end{itemize}
}
\end{document}
The output is as following:
Any suggestions? What did I do wrong?

I can reproduce the issue with TeX Live 2012, not with 2013.
Upgrading to a current TeX Live would be best. A workaround is available anyway:
Loading
amsbsy
is useless, asbm
clobbers the\boldsymbol
command making it equivalent to\bm
.Avoid the
\frame{...}
syntax and favor
