I have a problem with the new font selection scheme of LaTeX. When the old
one was around, I wrote a simple little slides.sty to enlarge text for
use on slides. The code is below:

%My personal slides style file. No pagenumbers and defines a macro
%``\beginslide'' that sets sizes to LARGE. 900926/BjL
\pagestyle{empty}		% no pagenumbers
\parindent=0pt			% no indentation for new paragraph
\def\beginslide{\LARGE\it \LARGE\sl \LARGE\bf \LARGE\boldmath \LARGE}

This works fine with the old font selection scheme, but with the new scheme
I get some bold italic (boldmath?) all over the place. (I of course want
roman as default.) I've tried to fix it in several ways but to no avail.
Anybody out there who knows what's going on and can give me a clue to how to
fix it?

(I'm not interested in SliTeX.)

Thanks!		Bjorn Lisper
