One of these is sometimes omitted and = replaced by an "overscore" on the previous vowel -- or on an entire abbreviation, such as "coe" for "comme" and "nre" = for "notre"; they become coe and nre overscored. Now I would like to reproduce these as closely as possible. For the "period + superscript letter" I found a solution: = \lohi[]{\cdot}{t} (for superscript t), nearly perfect. The only = imperfection I can see is that the dot sits slightly below the baseline. = Is there a way to get it on the baseline? The overscore on a single character presents no problem. For an overscore on a complete word I have not found a solution.=20 Three individual overscores on a three-letter word give a broken line; I = do not know how to merge the three line components. (Incidentally, this = hack does not work with mkiv) The other solution I have tried is to put the word in a frame with a = top-frame only. But this way the word (abbreviation) hangs underneath = the base-line.=20 Using \inframed instead of \framed makes no difference. There appears = not to be something like \setupinframed. I have attached an example. Thanks in advance for any help.
