   Hallo Richard!   
      
    RM> LATIN-1 is an alias for ISO 8859-1.   
      
   Wrong. LATIN1 is an alias for ISO 8859-1, amongst other aliases none of which   
   are LATIN-1.   
      
   -={ grep ISO-8859-1// /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules }=-   
   alias ISO-IR-100// ISO-8859-1//   
   alias ISO_8859-1:1987// ISO-8859-1//   
   alias ISO_8859-1// ISO-8859-1//   
   alias ISO8859-1// ISO-8859-1//   
   alias ISO88591// ISO-8859-1//   
   alias LATIN1// ISO-8859-1//   
   alias L1// ISO-8859-1//   
   alias IBM819// ISO-8859-1//   
   alias CP819// ISO-8859-1//   
   alias CSISOLATIN1// ISO-8859-1//   
   alias 8859_1// ISO-8859-1//   
   alias OSF00010001// ISO-8859-1//   
   module ISO-8859-1// INTERNAL ISO8859-1 1   
   module INTERNAL ISO-8859-1// ISO8859-1 1   
      
   The above can be verified by iana.org, and if you search their data base for   
   LATIN-1 will show it doesn't exist. The closest I can find at iana.org are   
   ISO-8859-1-Windows-3.0-Latin-1 (alias csWindows30Latin1) and ISO   
   8859-1-Windows-3.1-Latin-1 (alias csWindows31Latin1). I did find some   
   unofficial claims that LATIN-1 is an alias fo CP1252 but those cannot be   
   verified by any credible reference.   
      
   -={ grep CP1252// /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules }=-   
   alias MS-ANSI// CP1252//   
   alias WINDOWS-1252// CP1252//   
   module CP1252// INTERNAL CP1252 1   
   module INTERNAL CP1252// CP1252 1   
      
   iana.org lists it as windows-1252 with only one alias cswindows1252. No   
   mention of LATIN-1 as an alias of anything, nevermind ISO 8859-1.   
      
   Het leven is goed,
