wspr/unicode-math — Issue #225: Font Selection is ignored in beamer

Minimal example:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmathfont{Asana Math}
\begin{document}
$\left(\frac{\sqrt[3]{x-δ}}{\sum_i \alpha_j}\right)$
\end{document}

Instead of Asana Math the standard (non-math) sans-serif font of the document is used to render formulas. Little surprisingly this results in most math not being rendered properly: In the example above, the glyphs for sum, root, minus, α and δ are missing and the brackets are too small.

Using `professionalfonts` as an option for beamer does not help.

If I change the sans-serif font, e.g. with `\setsansfont{Linux Biolinum O}`, the font used to render formulas changes accordingly.

If I change the `documentclass` (e.g. to `article`) everything works as expected.
