I think we need to establish whether the problem is with input or
output (or both).  (I think it's with input, but let's make sure.)  If
you type these same characters using some latin-1 Leim input method
(e.g., latin-1-postfix), and set the terminal encoding to cp850, do
all the Latin-1 characters display correctly?
