There is no such problem with upper-case: thus, $\mathbf{\Gamma}$ does produce the bold version of $\Gamma$. The same thing happens replacing \mathbf by \bf.

\boldsymbol{\alpha}

also learn difference between \mathbf \boldsymbol and \boldkey

Avoid using \bf (either \textbf or \mathbf)

Irrelevant

This is not MacOSX specific and general TeX questions should be
addressed to texhax list as many real experts use Linux and even
(surprise) Windows
