How do I get a boldface math letters into beamer? The following produces an italic F and a non-italic F.

\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{Title} $F \mathbf{F}$ \textbf{F} \end{frame}
\begin{frame}{Title} $F \mathbf{F}$ \textbf{F} \end{frame}
\end{document}

If use article instead, I get what I am used to see:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$F \mathbf{F}$ \textbf{F} 
\end{document}

I guess the broader question is how to change math fonts in beamer (without breaking anything), and I'd appreciate your answer to that as well.

EDIT: added \textbf{F} for comparison.

This is what I get for your MWE: F F (as expected) – Werner Jan 19 '21 at 20:31

If you give beamer the professionalfonts option, you can load any font package of choice. Also, if you’re using beamer, you are not submitting a paper to one of the remaining publishers who still require PDFTeX in 2021, so you are free to switch to LuaLaTeX and load an OpenType font. – Davislor Jan 19 '21 at 20:31

@Werner: Well, I don't. I just compared it with plain \textbf{F}. – shuhalo Jan 19 '21 at 20:33
@shuhalo: Can you post your .log from compiling the MWE? It should highlight any font substitutions, if that occurred. – Werner Jan 19 '21 at 20:35
@Werner: the log file is too big. Should I grep something in particular? – shuhalo Jan 19 '21 at 20:43
@shuhalo: Remove content (packages and unnecessary suff) from your original file until you can replicate the issue. Then you can post that, smaller, .log (and accompanying code). – Werner Jan 19 '21 at 20:44
@Werner: I am afraid it already is my MWE. Latex definite states that there have been font substitutions. – shuhalo Jan 19 '21 at 20:46
@shuhalo: Here is my .log, for reference. – Werner Jan 19 '21 at 20:50
