The only time I have run into those odd-ball bar characters--the bar is called a "macron"--is in schoolboy Latin, where the Romans never heard of them! And the Latin used in Catholic Church liturgies never used the macrons either. Only Latin teachers, to make the difficult even more so!
And Latvian, Lithuanian, Hawaiian, romanizations of Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, etc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macron
