This looks very impressive!  But for my limited use of utf-8 characters
the TeX input method is already working well.  (I'm using greek letters
for variable definitions in R and Emacs' calc.  The formulae are way
easier to grock and to compare with recipes from handbooks.)

Wow, how could I reuse the above to export PDFLaTeX from org-mode
buffers with utf-8 characters?

Thanks a lot
