Has anybody tried to reproduce medieval manuscripts where some of the letters are "overlined"?
E.g. ā is an "overlined" a - and ō an overlined o.
Is there a robust / industriel strength method that works on (almost) all browsers and platforms?

I would stick with using the HTML and Unicode entities for any accented characters, including those with macra. Here's a discussion of the same touching on Latin and Hawaiian: [members.telocity.com...] . The fourth generation browsers do not necessarily understand all the Unicode entities-- on Windows those characters may display as question marks or boxes-- but this is still more standards-compliant and forward-compatible than workarounds like using special typefaces or replacing characters with tiny gifs.
