Do I need to forward to another mailing list the issue ? So in a scratch buffer, with emacs -Q, here the recipe : (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'prettify-symbols-mode) ?\" ;; after this point prettify does not behave correctly anymore ;; this will be a _lambda_ symbol when it should not (setq-default prettify-symbols-alist '(("lambda" . 955))) (org-mode) (prettify-symbols-mode 0) (prettify-symbols-mode 1) ;; this will not be a _lambda_ symbol when it should lambda ?\" ;; after this point prettify behaves correctly again ;; this will be a _lambda_ symbol like it should lambda -- <:3nn~~ <:3nn~~ <:3nn~~
