   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.
