I'm using this template for a poster presentation. In the main result block/alertblock, the math symbols do not appear in the desired size. Any help in resolving this is much appreciated.

\documentclass{beamer} 
\usepackage{beamerposter} 
\usetheme{confposter} 
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{exscale}
\title{.} 
\author{.} 
\institute{.} 


\begin{document} 

\begin{frame} 
$$\mathcal{D}$$
\[ \sum x \] 
\end{frame} 

\end{document}

\mathscr{} not the same size as the other symbols:

\documentclass[final]{beamer}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{mathrsfs}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\DeclareMathOperator{\sinc}{sinc}
\usepackage[scale=1.24]{beamerposter}
\usetheme{confposter} 
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{exscale}


\setbeamercolor{block title}{fg=ngreen,bg=white} 
\setbeamercolor{block body}{fg=black,bg=white} 
\setbeamercolor{block alerted title}{fg=white,bg=dblue!70} 
\setbeamercolor{block alerted body}{fg=black,bg=dblue!10} 

\newlength{\sepwid}
\newlength{\onecolwid}
\newlength{\twocolwid}
\newlength{\threecolwid}
\setlength{\paperwidth}{48in} 
\setlength{\paperheight}{36in} 
\setlength{\sepwid}{0.024\paperwidth}

    While your example does show the problem, most of it isn't needed. (You're asking about \sum, why all the text and images etc?) In fact, all you need is \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{beamerposter} \usetheme{confposter} \title{.} \author{.} \institute{.} \begin{document} \begin{frame} \[ \sum x \] \end{frame} \end{document}, and removing confposter also removes the problem. (That is why we ask for minimal examples, it makes it a lot clearer where the problem actually is.) – Torbjørn T. Mar 11 '18 at 10:43

    beamerthemeconfposter.sty, at least the version I have, does \RequirePackage{lmodern}, so it's likely the same problem I referred to in your previous question (now deleted?), and you can try the same fix, as mentioned in e.g. https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/119660/ \usepackage{exscale}. – Torbjørn T. Mar 11 '18 at 10:47
  • @TorbjørnT. thank you very much. I tried \usepackage{excale} and within the block, the desired size appeared. Still, the \mathscr{} and \mathcal{} symbols don't appear in the normal size. – Eureka Mar 11 '18 at 17:07

    OK, then can you edit your example to remove all the unnecessary bits (cf. my first comment), and also add in a couple of symbols with \mathcal/\mathscr? (Now that you mention it I remember you saying something about that in your previous question, but there is no mention of them in this question, and they do not appear in the code.) – Torbjørn T. Mar 11 '18 at 17:14
  • @TorbjørnT. I just did. – Eureka Mar 11 '18 at 17:18

    You should not use $$..$$, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/503 – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Mar 11 '18 at 17:22

    This is what I get from your MWE: https://i.stack.imgur.com/quGbq.png Which size do you want to change? – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Mar 11 '18 at 17:25
  • @samcarter, thank you. In fact I'm using \begin{equation}.... \end{equation} and those symbols I'm using within a block. If I use those particular symbols with a regular lower case letter, the size of the former is smaller than the letter. That's the issue. – Eureka Mar 11 '18 at 17:32
  • @Fib1123 Can you make a minimal working example (MWE) that shows your problem? – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Mar 11 '18 at 20:50
  • @samcarter, I just did. Please have a look at equation under Background materials. i put my whole preamble, so not to miss any information. – Eureka Mar 11 '18 at 21:32
  • @Fib1123 Can you add a link to the version of confposter you are using? With the one I found on the internet I cannot compile you MWE because of "no line here to end" errors. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Mar 11 '18 at 21:38
  • @samcarter, here's the link of the template I'm working on. https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/landscape-beamer-poster-template/vjpmsxxdvtqk#.WqWiOmrwaYm – Eureka Mar 11 '18 at 21:41

Based on Using 'xfrac' with 'mathrsfs'

\RequirePackage{fix-cm}
\documentclass{beamer} 
\usepackage{mathrsfs}
\usepackage[scale=1.24]{beamerposter}
\usetheme{confposter} 

\title{.} 
\author{.} 
\institute{.} 

\DeclareFontFamily{U}{rsfs}{\skewchar\font127 }
\DeclareFontShape{U}{rsfs}{m}{n}{%
   <-6> rsfs5
   <6-8> rsfs7
   <8-> rsfs10
}{}

\begin{frame}[t]
