Hi Christiaan, I'll provide an example. In a bib file saved in UTF-8 the following entry is exported with the standard rtf export template:
@book{Meyer:2000aa, Address = {Gräflingen}, Author = {Meyer, Heinrich}, Booktitle = {Die Abenteuer der üblen Röstwurst}, Date-Added = {2008-07-13 15:25:32 +0200}, Date-Modified = {2008-07-13 15:26:10 +0200}, Title = {Die Abenteuer der üblen Röstwurst}, Year = {2000}} export output: [Meyer(2000)] Meyer, Heinrich: Die Abenteuer der üblen Röstwurst, Gräflingen 2000. The editor I copied the export into has UTF-8 set as default. I have reset the standard templates to make sure I have not modified it in any way.
