Zotero hates macrons

John_muccigrosso
There's an old thread on this, but it seems that Zotero SA and Mac FF version still don't like macrons (at least ā in my case) and will halt import if it hits one. I got mine in through an RIS file in WinXP FF.

    Can you post this to the old thread? Particularly for a forgotten issue like this, it's good to keep discussion in one place. Also, please post to that thread a single item listing in RIS that triggers the issue.

    Have several hundred items with indological diacritica in my Zotero (plenty of macrons, dashes and dots below and above) in both main entries and sub-level attachments (mainly pdfs). Have no issues with them, Zotero seems to import and handle it all beautifully. Have tried the SA version (with Safari's connector) and otherwise use FF 4 beta / 2.1b6 / OS 10.6.6. In either case importing entries via the translator (e.g. googlebooks) seems to work. Could you post a link that doesn't for you?

    I'm not repeating this well, so I'll play around a bit and see what I can do. The standalone isn't importing well, but i'll report that over there in that thread.
