Can you please check if the same wrong characters appear in jAlbum too? (change to "Title" view in the top right corner) I guess they must be there too, as other characters show properly on your page.

They're not shown correctly in the meta.properties file, so they were probably entered improperly:

descript=Hart wenn die Strasse pl?tzlich und unerwartet endet, aber zum Gl?ck gibt es ja Taxis.

I'm also not sure about the chosen encoding in jAlbum. Under Album > Settings > Advanced > General > Encoding, this user has chosen UTF-8. I think ISO-8859-1 is the safer choice (but still check the Write UTF-8 box).

Yes, you are right they are there too. After changing them to ä, ö, ü, ß with the keyboard it works now.
Also I changed the font from Segoe, Dosis to Arial and identical with the base font.

Now the result is exactly what I wanted to see.

Dosis supposed to have all the western-european languages. (No greek or cyrillic)
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Dosis?selection.family=Dosis

Segoe is a system font, therefore it supports several codepages. Perhaps older XP's didn't have all the codepages, I don't know.

I guess the problem was the flawed import of exif data.
