InputStream and OutputStream Readers rely on platform default character
encodings (unless you specify an encoding in the constructor).
For example, a text file with German umlauts encoding in MacRoman translates
without any further effort when read on an OS X server and printed to an
ISO-8859-1 page. Move the text files onto a Windows box, and see the funny
characters.
Perhaps that's the problem?
Cheers,
Chris
