Zotero is in no way an ideal solution. It if far from even being acceptable by everyone. But then, I couldn't find any better solution to work with OOo. So it is the best I have seen so far. However, the rapid development it is going through gives me tremendous hope. Have you reported your problem on Zotero forums? In all probability, the problem is fixable, but somebody has to get the developer's attention to have it fixed. BTW, please note that Zotero is supposed to be a bibliography manager as well as citation tool. So the styles you desire should be a specification for some journal or publisher. If this is not so, no developer will want to tinker with preset styles. In any case, perhaps you want to verify in Zotero forums whether character formatting is possible. Since they use XML, I don't think it should be difficult at all. If you find anything better that works with OOo though, I would be interested too.
