Compile warnings need removing

[Rich Shepard]

After getting kbibtex working last week I thought all bibliographic entry
errors were corrected. Apparently not the case.

Different document, different citation. I get these warnings (from the log):

Class scrreprt Warning: deprecated old font command `\bf' used.
...

LaTeX Font Info:    Font shape `T1/ppl/bx/n' in size <10.95> not available
(Font)              Font shape `T1/ppl/b/n' tried instead on input line 32.

! Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined
(inputenc)                in inputencoding `latin9'.

See the inputenc package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
  ...

l.32 \newblock {\em Ecology}, {\bf 58}, 893??		(N.B. I don't know
                                              ?899.	where these

 							found)
You need to provide a definition with \DeclareInputText or \DeclareInputMath 
before using this key.

These are warnings, not errors, so the pdflatex output is provided.

What I want to learn is where the deprecated font styles (e.g., \bf, \em)
can be found. They're not in the kbiblatex entries and in the document's
settings use of deprecated font styles is not in the preamble.

Where in settings do I fix this issue?

TIA,
