  w3m-m17n (text mode web browser with m17n/i18n) works well
with both combining overline and combing macron. I tested w3m 0.3.1 with
m17n patch (http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~hsaka/w3m/index-ja.html#m17n)
under xterm 16x(http://dickey.his.com/xterm) in UTF-8 locale. It should
also work under mlterm (a multilingual xterm variant) as well. However,
it doesn't yet have a distinct way of rendering superscript/subscript
characters represented by mark-up while it uses a different color for
underlined text and encloses struck-out text with [del].
