-
ISO_LATIN1 languages include Albanian, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Faeorese, Finnish, French, German, Calician, Irish, Icelandic, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish.
-
ISO_LATIN2 languages include Slavic and Central European languages such as Czech, German, Hungarian, Polish, Rumanian, Croatian, Slovak, and Slovene.
-
WIN_LATIN1 languages correspond to those in ISO_LATIN1, but extend the list of characters in the ISO_LATIN1 character set. Some characters in Portuguese, Icelandic, Canadian-French, and the Nordic languages may not display correctly with this character set, because those languages have their own code pages (860, 861, 863, and 865).
-
MACINTOSH and ROMAN_8 languages match those of ISO_LATIN1, with some characters missing and some added.
