Can you post your patch that makes the functions typeset as greek
letters? I was trying to track this down, but the following current
behavior inhibits that.
sage: latex(function('alpha', x))
{\it alpha}\left(x\right)
sage: latex(function('phi', x))
{\it phi}\left(x\right)
sage: latex(function('psi', x))
{\it psi}\left(x\right)
As a guess, we might be calling out to maxima to latex the integral or
derivative, so that might explain where the problem lies. The code
would probably be in calculus/, maybe in calculus/calculus.py.
I believe http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/4202 is relevant here.

Yep, I ran into (2) a while back when doing spherical coordinates. Do
you already have a patch to add them?
Thanks,
