The default setting of the Entry Preview of JabRef for authors is currently set to `HTMLChars`:

```
\begin{author} \format[Authors(LastFirst,Initials,Semicolon,Amp),HTMLChars,LatexToUnicode]{\author}<BR>\end{author}

```

Because of this, certain author names with special characters (Latex format) are not displayed properly in the Entry Preview, e.g.:

“Pie{’{n}}kowski, G.”

is displayed as

“Pieŉkowski, G.”

instead of

“Pieńkowski, G.”

See: [https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/2498#issuecomment-276302816](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/2498#issuecomment-276302816)

Hereby I propose to change the default setting for author names in the Entry Preview to `LatexToUnicode`:

```
\begin{author} \format[Authors(LastFirst,Initials,Semicolon,Amp),LatexToUnicode]{\author}<BR>\end{author}

```

By doing this, the names with special characters are properly displayed in the Entry Preview of JabRef.
