The file does not open automatically in bibdesk, I have to paste into a text fil, and then copy/paste into bibdesk. Even then some manual tweaking is needed (Stöber was read as Stˆber). I get an error from BibDesk on that file, and the message suggests using a different encoding. My default in BibDesk is UTF-8, and that file is encoded as ISO Latin 1. So in this case, you're likely seeing an encoding problem; if you open that file with a text editor and the Stöber looks wrong, it'll be wrong if you copy-paste it. This happens regardless of format, by the way. The safest way to open is to use File->Open and choose the correct encoding in BibDesk. |
