"qbar"

[jsb]

Is it possible to write a "q" with a bar above it? I've never seen one - I suspect I'll have to do that one via graphic image ...

Hi Jon,

There is such a character, check the link below:

That's close, but not quite there. Not sure if I can use it - plus: it didn't show up right in this post, which worries me. I was hoping there was something akin to the underline property <u></u> that does an "overline", or a way to combine two letters in one space. There is an overline character by itself, but no way I can see to superimpose that on an actual letter.

I want to revisit this question. Is there a way in out of the box oXygen to have a text overline?

Hi Joel,

This post in the XSLT and FOP category so I will assume you want to generate PDF using XSL-FO generated from the XML content.
In XSL-FO you can set the attribute text-decoration="overline" on FO elements to decorate the text inside them with overline.
