Please comment if possible. <snip> As far as I know, BibTeX8 does not support UTF-8. (Please correct me if i am wrong). The patch allows to create bibliography in UTF-8 by not abbreviating first and middle name (which allows to get desirable result from UTF-8 encoded .bib files when initials are abbreviated in a database). However, bibliography in UTF-8 cannot be sorted (no csf file for UTF-8 since BibTeX8 does not support it). And, patch breakes intended behaviour of the package with other encodings. So, patch provides only partial workaround and problem cannot be solved without proper UTF-8 support in BibTeX8. <snap> Thanks, Hilmar -- sigmentation fault -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
