Hi,

Not sure about (2) as I know know beamer very well, but Regarding (1):

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{emerald}

\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
\node [draw, very thick, fill=blue!20, rounded corners=1ex,
font=\ECFJD, text width=4cm]
        {This is the only term that doesn't vanish};
\end{tikzpicture}


\end{document}


Take a look at

http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/calligraphicalfonts.html

for more fonts

regards

Mark
