Howdy,

Well, it can't be TeXShop since that just passes the job of creating the pdf to pdflatex (or whatever engine you're using). What is clear is that \mathfrac is taking its characters from one of the Lucida fonts when you use the lucidabr package while without the use of the package the characters are coming from the CMSuper or whatever LaTeX uses when it is told to use T1 font encoding. It's not surprising that the characters look different in the different fonts.

Don't think the OS has anything to do with it either.

Good Luck,
