>> Since MacTeX installs an un-altered and complete version of TeX Live 2012 it certainly can't be the Mac. Could you give a minimal but complete and compilable example so we can test here? How are you compiling the document? I see that you are using a dvipdfm option to the beamer class. If you are using a front end application, e.g., TeXShop, to compile it uses pdflatex by default and even using the LaTeX+Distiller method uses LaTeX->dvips->ps2pdf by default.<br>

</div></div>Howdy,<br>
<br>
A very good point! Beamer in TeX Live 2012 is at version 3.20? If you installed MacTeX 2012 you probably have an old version in your personal tree.<br>
