Here is a way to do this:
sage: dt = var('Delta_t')
sage: dt._latex_ = lambda: '\\Delta t'
sage: show(dt + pi)
and it will look like you want.
By the way, you should subscribe to sage-support
http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support
and post questions there. If you had posted the above
question there you might have got an answer
much more quickly.
