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,
Maurice
