[XeTeX] possible conflict between polyglossia and beamer

[Tobias Schoel]

Hello Damien,

indeed, polyglossia and beamer seem to interact in a nonintuitive way. 
But you can workaround it: If you define the fonttheme before loading 
polyglossia and defining languages, the font setting works.

\documentclass[10pt]{beamer}
\usefonttheme{serif}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{polish}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{hyperref}
%\setmainfont{Linux Libertine O}

\begin{document}
some text
\end{document}

ciao

Toscho

Defining \setmainfont won’t change anything (I tried with different font families, without any effect on my slides) but \setsansfont changes sans font families (I checked it switching to \usefonttheme{default}). Maybe beamer themes are linked to babel?
