I remember X-Symbol, but most of its feature set has been replaced by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 "α" 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).
