[pdftex] pdftricks & slides font issue

pdftricks doesn't seem to use the right font in the slides document  
class (should be sans serif).  I've included an example, below.  The  
font I see looks like the font from article class.  In fact, the  
*fig1.tex file it makes uses the article class.

Did I not set something up right?

If I run the same example using LaTeX (w/o pdftricks, of course) the  
correct font gets used.

I'm using pdftricks 1.15
\Fileversion$Revision: 1.15 $

(I just downloaded it, today, from  
ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex2e/contrib/supported/ 
pdftricks.tar.gz)

and pdflatex, latex
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.4.5)
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10b (Web2C 7.4.5)

In fact, I'm using TeXShop and Gerben Wierda's TeXLive distribution.
