Overlines were also extensively used to express abbreviations in most (if not all) Western European languages before the modern era. In many disciplines (e.g., philology) reporting these abbreviations as they appear in the original source (i.e., with overlines) is necessary. While using unicode overbars is a workaround, it requires to set a different character size for the letter to be overlined and the overbar itself (if they're the same size, the overbar "disappears" in the body of most capital letters), which causes problems when changing the size (or style) of sections of text. Also, an overbar needs to be added for every single character to be overlined, which may be very annoying if extensive overlining is needed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
