[Refdb-users] Question about Unicode

[Marc B. <ba...@sm...>]

Hi,

I am new to this list, and first of all I'd like to say that
RefDB is a great program with a lot of useful functions. On
the other side I must say, it was not so trivial to install =

on my Debian woody system, because several packages are not
"debianized" (eg libdbi - only available in an outdated version).

But now I have started to use it and .. already run into my
first problems. I have a reference with an author called H=F6=F6k,
and I wonder how to add this reference.

A RIS file with "H=F6=F6k" is rejected by addref, because of the two
umlauts (eg if I replace them with o, I can add the reference fine).
Now I edited the file in unicode mode and put the unicode equivalents
in. I now can at least add the reference. But if I look eg at a search
via the webinterface, I still get the ugly unicode raw code (H=C3=B6=C3=B6=
k).

I don't have much experience with unicode, so maybe I am doing something
stupid ?

How do people usually handle references with special characters ?

Thanks in advance,
  Marc Baaden
