Checking more closely on the message you originally sent to me (with a Cc: to the mailing list)... There were two check marks in the message. If I open the message raw in Gnus (`C-u g' in the summary buffer), I see both of them coded as =E2=9C=93. But if I let Gnus to render the message, while the first check mark is OK, the second gets mangled into a Ctrl-S. Could it be a problem with the Gnus rendering mechanics for whatever sits between #+begin_src and #+end_src? > If the above command doesn't yield a tick mark the issue is with your > setup. Changing the Ctrl-S by the check mark, within ~/.emacs, now makes much more sense! I'm getting exactly what I wanted through this writing, inspired from yours (thanks, Jambunathan!): (font-lock-add-keywords 'org-mode '(("\\[\\(X\\)\\]" (0 (progn (compose-region (match-beginning 1) (match-end 1) "✔") nil))) )) I'm being lucky here, as I only barely understand what the incantation means! :-) François
