I've written it exactly the same as you and... it works fine now. :-)
Thank You!

In my code I was doing this way:

1. read the file from BufferedReader to char array
2. append char array (portions) to StringBuffer
3. StringBuffer -> java.lang.String
4. String -> QTextCodec (setup to iso2!) toUnicode -> String
5. String -> formUnicode QTextCodec (setup to QTextCodec.codecForLocale) -> String
6. (my non encoding related operations on string)
7. String -> gui objects

I thing that step 3, or even 2 was causing this crap, because
of implicit encoding into unicode and then decoding it with
QTextCodec setup to iso2.
