I have difficulties with Umlaute in my references (see appended shot). I use Jabref 3.8.1 as a reference manager and Lyx 2.3.0, Debian stretch.

Perhaps the newest Jabref can handle it, but I can't install it:

we@wolfgang-Mr-Whisper-Ultra-SSD-II:~$ sudo apt install openjfx
Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut.

openjfx ist schon die neueste Version (8u141-b14-3~deb9u1).
0 aktualisiert, 0 neu installiert, 0 zu entfernen und 7 nicht aktualisiert.
Sie haben neue Post in /var/mail/we.
we@wolfgang-Mr-Whisper-Ultra-SSD-II:~$ java -jar JabRef-4.3.1.jar
Error: Unable to access jarfile JabRef-4.3.1.jar
we@wolfgang-Mr-Whisper-Ultra-SSD-II:~$

With biblatex it says

Accessing a database via biblatex is almost identical to BibTeX: Use the menu Insert->List/TOC->Bib(la)TeX Bibliography. *In contrary to BibTeX you cannot select a style file*.

But I would like to use a special style file. So biblatex is apparently not an alternative.

Any idea what to do?
