You seem to imply that "iso-8859-1" is a coded character set. I do not think Charmod should use "iso-8859-1" to mean anything but a character encoding scheme--the term is introduced as a mapping of code points to bytes and font technology is not typically based on character encoding schems; I thus stand by my objection to this text as it confuses the issue. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
