[XeTeX] BiBdesk / BiBTeX

[Bernd]

bibdesk finding the path:
I gave up on that, it seems to be broken under OS X (or I'm too stupid) 
but I'm using the /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/bibtex/bib/ fodler 
and created a new folder for custom made bibliographies. Now I  can use 
one bib for more than one document without having it always in the same 
folder. You might need to chmod your folder and run sudo texhash to make 
it available though.
Fonts: make sure you're using the proper fonts, this cost me one 
afternoon to figure out why my bibliography never looked right.
Hope that helps, Bernd.
