I already thought, that different codepages have something to do with it. And as far as i can see, the characters 128 up to 159 are the problem in KiXtart. The Windows-1252 codepage coincides with ISO-8859-1 for all codes except the range 128 to 159 (hex 80 to 9F), where the little-used C1 controls are replaced with additional characters including all the missing characters provided by ISO-8859-15.
But IMHO this does not really explains, why the characters are interpreted in different ways, depending on which other character is followed.
