LaTeX and not equal to

I am trying to write up some of my masters work with TexMaker under Ubuntu (+ whatever LaTeX distribution it installs as a dependency). I know I should ask on a LaTeX forum, but they didn't reply when I tried last time.

Basically, whether I use \neq or \not=, the symbol shows up as an equals sign '=' rather than a not equal sign. Any ideas, anyone?
I'd say there's some problem with the latex parser and/or renderer. \neq and \not= are both correct. Or maybe you have a weird resolution that makes that not equals sign look like an equals sign? Don't know what else could be the problem.
I zoomed in to 400% and it was definitely an equals sign. I've previously had this problem with MikTex and TexNic centre under Windows IIRC.

I've tried DVI and PDF output, though both are viewed with Ubuntu's 'Document Viewer'.
