Hi Leslie,

Sorry but I can't help: I've never used beamer or any other LaTeX  
slide-oriented package (except for slide.cls itself, long ago), and  
I've no plan to use it in the near future. For the moment I'm doing  
all my presentations in Keynote, sometimes converting to PowerPoint  
afterwards when mandatory.

Maybe Gary Gray or another Lucida afficionado on the OS X TeX list  
could help. But a minimal example would be required (minimal LaTeX  
file displaying the problem).

A possibility may be simply that the order in which amssymb.sty and  
lucidabr.sty are loaded matters. You should first check from the .log  
file what are the packages called silently by the beamer class, and  
how they could interfere with lucidabr.sty.

Sorry for the late answer, I've been away last week and I'm still  
catching up with the accumulated mail.
