Well, figured it out. The class option for beamer should be professionalfont, and not professionalfont s (depends on how you load it).

To make the solution more complete, the class option should be loaded as


\usefonttheme{professionalfonts}


someplace after the document class is loaded, and ...

Is this a combination that should work without any problems with the current versions of the different packages?

At the moment I have TL 2012 pretest installed, and if I try to compile i.e.


\documentclass[pdflatex,professionalfonts,smaller]{beamer}
\usetheme{Boadilla}

\usepackage{amsmath ...

The new version 1.5 of the brilliant pgfplots package now available on CTAN supports Smith Charts by a special library. This way those charts can be done very easy.

You don't happen to have any suggestion for how to combine a Smith chart and a contour-plot? Got some load pull data I'd like to ...

I have a TikZ figure for which many of the nodes hold text which I want to be in \footnotesize. But for some reason, when compiling, the text isn't in the desired size at all; as if LaTeX just ignores the commands.

Strangly enough, this did work while making the figure, but now suddenly out of the ...

Got an answer on tex.stackexchange. Just posting the answer here.

Minor progress; figured out what to write instead of XXX in the intersection command, so now it will looke like


\draw[name path=myArc,semithick,dashed] (5.1,9.6) arc(0:-60:5.15);
\foreach \y in {5.25,5.75,...,9.25}
{
\node (x1\y) at (2.25,\y) {};
\node (x2\y) at (5.5,\y) {};
\coordinate (c\y ...

Hello,

I posted the same question at {TeX} SE , but I'll ask here as well.

I'm trying to figure out how to place a shape/node at the intersection point between an arc and some horizontal lines in TikZ, preferably by using the \foreach command that TikZ provides as there are multiple horizontal ...

Yesterday I found Stefan's article about column separators for the amsmath matrix environment; and they work great for my purpose.

However, I've noticed that the length of the vertical column separators is slightly longer than the size of the matrix brackets, thus making the solution a bit ...

[…] Just one question in the end; how come the document does not need to be encoded in UTF-8 when the text is in English? I mean, earlier today I compiled some other documents which are entirely in English without any problems, and they all are written with Notepad++ with ASCII encoding. Is this ...

Thanks for the reply. Then I think that I've understood it correctly. The reason I doubted it was due to a disagreement with a fellow student, who interpreted the term "physical quantity" different than myself; so I wanted to check with a third party.

And also a big thanks for the heads up ...
