Suppose O'Donovan is the author of a book in my bib file. How do I get the second character to be an apostrophe (smart, curly, right single quote) rather than a prime (dumb, straight, symbol for inch)? I can get the desired effect for O'Donovan by turning off BibDesk's Unicode to Tex conversion option and entering the apostrophe myself.
What is your output path? Using pdflatex/bibtex, I find that the straight quote appears as a curly quote. If you're using a template, you'll likely need to use the Unicode character directly and disable character conversion. If you're using xelatex, you might need \defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}.
But then I run into trouble with another author: Suárez (the third character is an accented a).
That will fail with TeX if you disable character conversion without setting up your TeX file to use the encoding you specified for the TeX template in BibDesk's preferences. Otherwise, the default conversion should work fine, and convert this to {\'a}.
