The function theme_biblio_format_authors in biblio_theme.inc does not respect the option betweenInitialsDelim when shortening author's forenames (can be more than one).

My attached patch fixes this and also replaces dashes by the delimiter character. I am using Vancouver style i.e. initials are concatenated without a delimiter. I am not sure if it makes sense to replace the dashes in other cases.

Could you give me an example of an forename you where having trouble with?

All persons with more than one forename produce the problem like "Ko, Han Seok". It was displayed as Ko H S instead of Ko HS using Vancouver style. As for the dashes: Lu, Xiao-Hong is displayed as Lu XH in PubMed citations but Lu X-H with Biblio, Vancouver style.
