It seems to be an Evince problem, though: exporting to DVI and viewing the *.dvi file with: + xdvik: \neq shows up as not equal - evince: \neq shows up as equal - without the stroke! Also, when viewing with Evince the first time (but *after* viewing with xdvik), bitmap-fonts are auto-generated: kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 ec-lmr10 mktexpk: Running gsftopk ec-lmr10 600 [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] ...
