+Q. I'm using Proof General for prover X, then I load a file for prover Y.
+ The buffer doesn't enter the mode for prover Y. Why not?
+
+A. Unfortunately the architecture of Proof General is designed so
+ that you can only use one prover at a time in the same Emacs
+ session. If you want to run more than one prover at a time,
+ you have to run more than one Emacs.

A. These are part of the 8 bit character codes used by X Symbol to
get symbols from particular fonts. Sometimes X-Symbol forgets to
fontify the buffer properly to make it use the right fonts.
- To fix, type M-x x-font-lock-fontify-buffer or M-x x-symbol-fontify.

+ To fix, type M-x font-lock-fontify-buffer or M-x x-symbol-fontify.
If that doesn't work, type M-x font-lock-mode twice to turn
font-lock off then on. Or reload the file.
Note that X-Symbol is more robust when used with XEmacs/Mule.
Read the X-Symbol documentation for (much) more information.
