Handa-san strikes again! :-) I confess I do not understand much of it. Ctrl-S being turned into a rectangle is mysterious. Is it the standard way for Emacs to tell about a non-printable character? The documentation of font-lock-add-keywords does not hint me at what may be those S-exprs which are not faces. Moreover, the effect is a bit tiny or shy, at least compared to what I expected. The suggestions of John Miller yield tiny characters as well. Presumably, I could try to see if I can force higher font sizes, but that would be diving deeper into trickery, and away from other problems. Despite the undoubtedly ingenious suggestion, I guess I'll merely stick with what Org mode already offers, as it's the best I got so far! :-) In any case, I'm grateful for your interest, and for sharing ideas.
