Despite this function's name (and despite what it says in the dictionary), this built-in function converts from ansi (a.k.a. Windows-1252) to Mac roman.

Microsoft uses so-called ANSI to refer to any of many code pages, not just Windows-1252. (Microsoft's use of ANSI is fraudulent and should be avoided, thus the use of Windows-1252 is appropriate here.)

Codes 80-9F are not used in ISO-8859-1, but most are used in Windows-1252. The isoToMac() function does indeed translate most of these suitably for Windows-1252, but notably does not translate the Euro (80), mentioned in BZ 3681.

Thanks for mentioning that the function works on Windows-1252, Martin. I had done a quick check at one time and must have goofed, because I came away thinking otherwise.
