[R] Underlined font

Hi all,

   Is there a simple way to place underlined text in a plot?

   Hershey vector fonts seem to have a single underscore character ("\\ul"),
but no underlined font.  Plotmath (ref: ?plotmath) comes very close with:
  R> plot(0:1,0:1, type="n")
  R> text(.1, .1, quote(bar(Hello)))
but that's overlined, not underlined.  Also:
  R> text(.2, .2, quote(over(Hello, phantom())))
is the right idea but leaves too much space.  Thanks for any help!
