MathFonts Beamer

This document compares different font combinations for use in beamer presentations. It provides examples of text and math formatting using fonts like CMSS, CMR, CM Bright, Concrete, Helvetica, Palatino, Times, Utopia and others. The examples demonstrate how to set the fonts in the preamble and show whether the text and math fonts are well-matched or cause mis-matches in appearance.
