Note that the IANA registry does not contain the specific name
"iso8859-1", though both Microsoft and Netscape treat it as an alias for
iso-8859-1. The following is an out-of-date table of charset names used
by Netscape 4.X:

Eventually, I hope to find time to update that table.
X Windows uses the same name (iso8859-1) at the end of the long XLFD
font names, and this probably isn't a coincidence.
