A user has some .bib files which were created by hand (typing in
entries, not copy-and-paste). These were done in a fresh download and
install of JabRef onto a Windows 7 laptop.
The files say in the header comment that they are in Cp1252 encoding,
and that appeared to be the default. This came to light when the user
tried to use them in conjunction with a LaTeX document using
[utf8x]{inputenc} where the .bbl file gave errors for some of the
characters.
I have changed her JabRef default to UTF-8, but when I re-save the
existing files, they still say they are in Cp1252 (and indeed they still
give errors). Does JabRef honour the default encoding for existing
documents, or is there a way to force conversion?
The user only needs áéíóú and ÁÉÍÓÚ in the .bib files, which work on
other systems when LaTeX uses [utf8x]{inputenc} (the LaTeX document
itself needs UTF-8 for many other characters).
Is there a way to make JabRef to use UTF-8 throughout and not slip back
into Cp1252 just because it happens to be running under Windows?
