I don't think this sentence is structurally correct, as the scope 
of "e.g. iso-8859-1" doesn't extend beyond the last char of that 
string.  I suggest something like:

  "This prohibits the formerly frequent construction of fonts 
  that misused a foo (e.g. iso-8859-1) to represent different 
  scripts, characters, or symbols than what was actually encoded 
  in that foo."

Replace "foo" by the right technical term.

Also replace: "than what was actually encoded" with "than those 
actually encoded".
