Yes, I had tried using that, but it is less than ideal given trying to export to other formats.
Your comment about the gtk decorations led me to another google search that found this post ( https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=58941). It appears in GTK applications, you can use ctrl+shift+u and then type a unicode character to insert it "on the fly". U+0305 is a combining overline mark, so by typing "Ctrl+shift+u 0305" you can get it to go over the previous character. It doesn't look great over numbers, but at least it's unicode, rather than an image. I suppose this will suffice for now, because I can't think of a better way to do it.
