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".
