For some letters accented characters exist: "ā".

Inline LaTeX preview just works for me (Linux), so I can suggest nothing 
besides to check "*Org Preview LaTeX Output*" buffer for errors.

I think, you should follow this recomendations. Typography rules for 
math expressions substantially differ from ones for prose (italic font 
for variables, LaTeX cares concerning proper spaces, etc.).

When I was writing docs containing math, I had PDF (earlier DVI or PS) 
viewer window open along with LaTeX sources, so I could read formatted 
text. Anyway that time math in WYSIWYG was rather ugly (maybe besides 
texmacs), required heavy mouse work, and such editors had various 
problems with more or less complex documents that were easier for me to 
solve in LaTeX. That is why I never had expectation that source document 
should look like formatted one. Editing of sufficiently complex 
equations in LaTeX is not always convenient though.
