In LaTeX you have options to make a glyph bigger on screen and on  
paper. This feature is not provided in GNU Emacs since it uses the  
glyphs as they come out of a font in the size of the text used (set)  
with this font. Options can be to create a fontset that uses for ∑  
the glyph from another font (or same font at larger size) or it's  
associated with a particular face that takes the bigger glyph from  
another font.

My final (we had some private eMail conversation) recommendation for  
Torben was to apply the preview option of AUCTeX on (some) formulas  
that they look as they should (in his opinion) – at least this will  
show that TeX won't make the mistake of choosing too small symbols.  
Another option would be to use a specialised TeX editor like TeXmacs  
or Lyx that has more graphical capabilities ...
