I'm using the beamerposter package but I have a problem with one equation:

\begin{equation}
    P_\tau = pm_0 + \sum_{x=1}^{X} mr_{\tau,Lx} \cdot pm_{Lx}
\end{equation}

which appears like that:

resulting equation

The problem is obviously the size of the \sum.

The package include:

\usepackage[orientation=portrait,size=a0,scale=1.4]{beamerposter}

Please tell me if you need more information.

Edit: This problem appears when using \RequirePackage{lmodern} but without it, my fonts are ugly.

Please provide a minimal working example (MWE) that showcases your problem. You can delete any other code for this. – henry Aug 21 '13 at 15:35
Welcome to TeX.SX! A minimal example is really needed; however you can try loading \usepackage{exscale} or \usepackage{amsmath} (which is recommended anyway when math typesetting is involved). – egreg Aug 21 '13 at 15:40
@egreg, thank you but it did not solved the issue. For both: I agree, I'll try to do it, I might even find the origin of the bug doing it... It apparently comes from the template which is not mine... – Maxime Aug 21 '13 at 15:56
This question and its answers may help: "making a big summation sign" – Trylks Aug 21 '13 at 16:20
Apparently, the problem is related to this ligne : \RequirePackage{lmodern} – Maxime Aug 21 '13 at 16:33

@Maxime Now it is clear. See this discussion: http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/119660/27635 – karlkoeller Aug 21 '13 at 16:39
@karlkoeller perfect. My question is then a duplicate. Thanks a lot. Problem solved. – Maxime Aug 21 '13 at 16:45
