Yes. Since BibTeX doesn't officially support UTF-8 we've tried to
support it but it's tricky. I just added to the FAQ what we're doing now
(see
http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Citeline_FAQ ) and we'll try to find
some time to work on this problem in the next couple of months...
and keep in mind that this is an open source project so if you have
programming resources available to work on this we'd love the help!
Best,
MacKenzie
