I will use fontspec since that is what you were using in the TeX files
you attached in the opening post.
Add the following to your prologue, before \begin{document} :
\newfontfamily\integrativo{APIntegrativo}
\newcommand{\integchar}[1]{{\integrativo\char#1}}
\newcommand{\ABAR}{\integchar{8449}}
\newcommand{\RBAR}{\integchar{8479}}
\newcommand{\VBAR}{\integchar{8483}}
\newcommand{\ABARsm}{\integchar{57392}}
\newcommand{\RBARsm}{\integchar{57393}}
\newcommand{\VBARsm}{\integchar{57394}}
Then, in your document, where you would use \Abar, \Rbar, and \Vbar, use
\ABAR (or \ABARsm), \RBAR (or \RBARsm), and \VBAR (or \VBARsm). If in
gabc, instead of using <sp>A/</sp>, <sp>R/</sp>, and <sp>V/</sp>, use
<v>\ABAR</v>, <v>\RBAR<v>, and <v>\VBAR</v> (or the sm variants).
This works for me. If it doesn't work for you, let me know what error
you get and I'll try to figure it out.
Regards,
Henry
