I have tried to find some other place to ask questions about kbibtex, but have struck out, so if anyone knows....

I've grown frustrated with JabRef, due to display problems on different systems, and so am looking for a new bibliography manager. I've found kbibtex quite useful, but now I've found a real annoyance: It seems to `translate' such LaTeX constucts as --, \'a, etc, to –, á, etc, which breaks the compilation of some of my documents (and was a total hassle to revert). So far as I can tell, there is no option to turn this off, but maybe I'm missing it? It seems a very strange thing to do by default.

If there isn't an option to suppress this, I may try to create a patch....
