The !9 math font also has an "overbar" character:
p = plot(/test, TITLE='My Data !9`!S``!R!XAB')
That overbar character (the "`" character) is shifted a bit to the right, which is why you need to put one down first, then save the position, then put down a few more to cover your characters.

Thanks for the help everyone. I've tried using the !9 math font, but it doesn't seem to work - all it does is produce the '' symbols! And after checking the mathfont symbols (as shown at http://www.idlcoyote.com/graphics_tips/lesign.php) I can't see this overbar character listed anywhere???
Cheers,
Liam
