[Ipe-discuss] cmss for math symbols

[Alexander Wolff]

hi!

for my slides i would like to use the text font (cmss) suggested in
presentation.xml also for my math formulas (in italics).  i used the
following lines in my style sheet:

<preamble>
\renewcommand\rmdefault{cmss}
\DeclareSymbolFont{operators}{OT1}{cmss}{m}{n}
\DeclareSymbolFont{letters}  {OT1}{cmss}{m}{it}
\DeclareSymbolFont{bold}     {OT1}{cmss}{bx}{n}
\DeclareSymbolFont{italic}   {OT1}{cmss}{m}{it}
</preamble>

this basically works, but some characters seem to be encoded
differently.  e.g. if i write a comma (,) i get a semicolon (;),
if i write a perion (.) i get a colon (:).

is there someone with experience in latex font selection who could help me?

regards,
