I remember X-Symbol, but most of its feature set has been replaced by other things (e.g. input-methods, or \inputenc{utf8} which lets you use actual accented chars in the file). Are you referring to the replacement of "\alpha" with an "=CE=B1" and things like that? These could be added via prettify-symbols-mode (which, like preview-latex relies on redisplay features rather than modifying the actual buffer's content). Stefan
